Book Description

Publication Date: 2004

Ethel Lina White and Vera Caspary were storytellers of the first order. So it's no wonder their books attracted the attention of two first-rate directors-Alfred Hitchcock and Otto Preminger-and translated so brilliantly to the silver screen. Both motion pictures attained icon status over the years and have been endlessly imitated, but never matched. Now discover-or rediscover-for yourself the original novels that inspired those classic films...and the writers who proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the female can be the deadlier variety of the species. In The Lady Vanishes, young Iris Henderson befriends an elderly governess while traveling on a train back to England. Sometime during their journey, the governess disappears-yet no one on the train can remember seeing her! In Laura, a beautiful woman is murdered on a sweltering day in New York City. As hard-boiled detective Mark McPherson investigates, he's startled to find himself falling in love with her. Don't miss these two intriguing masterpieces of suspense-each has a tantalizing twist!
