The Bride Wore Black (American Mystery Classics) by Cornell Woolrich
When the wealthy ladies' man fell from his balcony in the midst of his engagement party, the police dismissed the death as the result of a freak accident. There was nothing to connect it with the poisoning of a lonely man in his squalid apartment or the married businessman killed after him, sealed in a closet and left to suffocate. No connection, that is, aside from the appearance of a beautiful woman in each case, just before the victims met their untimely ends.
Nobody knows her identity, where she comes from or whither she goes. Nor do they know why anyone would be targeting this series of seemingly unrelated persons. But one police detective is convinced that the answers to these questions can save the lives of men who might be next on her wicked list.
Cornell Woolrich's first crime novel, The Bride Wore Black is the stylish, tense thriller that launched his career and it was filmed by Francois Truffaut under the same title.
Cornell Woolrich (1903 - 1968) was one of the most influential mystery and suspense authors of all time. His books inspired more film noir than those of any other writer.
