Answer: Alfred Hitchcock

From the book directly:

"It is, I suppose, what my father always frowningly called "an Alfred Hitchcock ending," by which he meant a conclusion in ambiguity that allowed the reader or viewer to make up his own mind about how things ended. My father had nothing but contempt for such stories, saying they were "cheap shots"."

Answer: Hope

David hears these two words on a radio station. The ending does not tell what happens to David, only that he left this story on a counter in a hotel. Thanks for playing!
