Into the Night

By Cornell Woolrich and Lawrence Block

Book Overview

"REAL NOIR... A GROTESQUELY MEMORABLE RIDE." - WALL STREET JOURNAL

TWO OF THE GREATEST AUTHORS OF NOIR FICTION IN AN UNFORGETTABLE COLLABORATION

An innocent woman lies dead in the street, felled by a stray bullet. Now it's up to the woman who killed her to investigate the dead woman's life and pick up its cut-short threads, carrying out a mission of vengeance on her behalf against the man she loved and lost - and the nightclub-singing femme fatale responsible for splitting them apart.

Begun in the last years of his life by noir master Cornell Woolrich, the haunted genius responsible for such classics as Rear Window, The Bride Wore Black, Night Has a Thousand Eyes, and Phantom Lady, and completed decades later by acclaimed novelist and MWA Grand Master Lawrence Block (A Walk Among the Tombstones, Eight Million Ways to Die), INTO THE NIGHT - available here for the first time in more than 35 years - is a collaboration that extends beyond the grave, echoing the book's own story of the living taking on and completing the unfinished work of the dead.

Customer Reviews

Powerful, Unreleting, deeply flawed

Woolrich's incomplete novel of despair, revenge, and even love, takes the reader deep into the darkess abyss. Unfortunately, the novel was never completed and a discordently happy ending was appended to it. Nonetheless it is a fascinating novel: what would make a women take up her victim's life and enact retribution on those who had harmed her in her life? All Woolrich fans should definitely read this book: it is Woolrich in the 1960's -this time as gory and graphic as he could get away with.
