Regarded by some as the twentieth century’s finest writer of pure suspense fiction, Cornell Woolrich began his career in the 1920s, writing mainstream novels and winning comparisons with F. Scott Fitzgerald. His best-known work, however, was written in the field of crime fiction, often appearing in pulp magazines and paperback novels. He produced numerous noir classics, many of which were turned into films, including ‘Rear Window’, ‘The Bride Wore Black’, ‘The Night Has a Thousand Eyes’ and many more. For the first time in publishing history, this e Book presents Woolrich’s complete novels, with numerous illustrations, rare texts and informative introductions. (Version 1)
