Description
An injured, housebound man believes he might have witnessed a murder and must uncover the plot without leaving his apartment. An accidental killer hides the corpse of his neighbour in a fold-down bed - just as his landlord decides to start holding viewings. An innocent youth accused of murder goes on the run, only to discover he has an unexpected aptitude for crime. In this new selection of his best short stories - including the one that inspired Alfred Hitchcock - Cornell Woolrich shines as one of the twistiest, smartest and most thrilling crime writers of the 20th century.
