About This Item
Waltz into Darkness (American Mystery Classics) by Cornell Woolrich
When New Orleans coffee merchant Louis Durand first meets his fiancee after an extensive courtship by mail, he's shocked that she doesn't match the photographs sent with her correspondence -- instead of the homely, dark-haired woman he expected, he's greeted by a radiant blonde beauty who claims that her deceit was necessary to find true love. But it soon becomes clear that Durand's new bride carries devilish secrets, and when, soon after marriage, she vanishes with his fortune in tow, Durand realizes he's made a terrible mistake.
Alone, desperate, and inexplicably love-sick, Louis quickly descends into madness, obsessed with finding Julia, bringing her to justice, and simply seeing her again. And when he finally tracks her down, the real nightmare begins.
A dark tale of the destructive power of love, this is a classic "femme fatale" narrative.
Cornell Woolrich (1903 - 1968) is the pen name most often employed by George Hopley-Woolrich, one of the most influential mystery and suspense authors of all time.
