Francis M. Nevins describes the 11 crime novels written in the 1940s by Cornell Woolrich as "the finest group of suspense novels ever written." Before he became famous for classics such as Deadline at Dawn, Woolrich was already developing his themes in sharply observed stories of romance and mischief. Here, collected for the first time, are 15 page-turners by a master craftsman. With an Introduction and notes by two-time Edgar-winner Nevins.
