Here is the story of a mad love, written against the mysterious background of the underworld. Unlike the ordinary tale of this type with its crude, realistic descriptions, Manhattan Love Song is attuned in style and pace to the exoticism that surrounds and controls the life of Bernice. Because it is unusual, daring and bizarre this book will impress and delight the reader as few books have done before.

Dusty Detwiller and his Sandmen were undoubtedly the most-hoodooed aggregation of hot-lickers that ever jammed a number from a bandshell. It kept the Warden of the Mad House jumping, trying to furnish substitutes for the swingsters who apparently Dutched it after each of those fatal jam-sessions. But a smart dick who didn’t know the Bolero from Dinah, and the little blonde who canaried it for the band proved even the cagiest murderer can go kill-corny once too often.

Hunted, alone, she went out on her dreadful mission — to find a little white stone of death — the one thing that could save her from the chair!

Murder at Sloppy Joe’s sends a hunted and heartbroken man twisting and turning down the black path of fear. Human life is something you can take away, but not give back, Scotty remembered as he thought about his embrace with death. The body had simply slipped to the floor, and now he was charged with a murder he didn’t commit. His only proof of innocence destroyed, his only sanctuary a swarthy outcast in a black garret, Scotty had little to live for. Swift and terrible revenge and a search for a photograph negative haunted his mind. With never a moment’s rest, never a sob of relief, the build-up, the atmosphere of terror, and the frantic effort to escape bind the reader closer and closer to tortured Scotty. A stealth of night cloaks this unusual study of fear.

One person only had faith in him, but that was the girl in the snappy blue car.

Greedy Vera Miller plots her husband’s murder right under the nose of her mute, paralyzed mother-in-law. After all, the old lady won’t be able to tell anyone about the crime. Or will she?

Any hint of budding literary genius was notably absent from little Johnny’s English paper. But a sinister hint of something else was there — which thrust his pretty schoolmarm into a career of amateur sleuthing and landed her on dangerous ground indeed, before she concluded her one-woman manhunt — and returned to award Johnny’s opus a well-deserved A-plus.

В романе «Невеста была в черном» четыре загадочных убийства совершаются одно за другим с роковой неумолимостью. Убийца — молодая красивая женщина, бесследно исчезающая после каждого преступления. Что побуждает ее убивать своих жертв самыми изощренными способами?

Someone — I wish it were me — has put together a fantastic collection of Woolrich stories that everyone needs to have. This includes most of his classics (It Had to be Murder is really Rear Window). Many great pulp classics here — plus one I’ve been looking for for a long time, Jane Brown’s Body, which is CW’s only Science Fiction story. Grab this one — it’s a noirfest everyone should indulge in.
