The Black Angel by Cornell Woolrich
In this classic crime novel and hypnotic thriller, a panic-stricken young wife races against time to prove that her convicted husband did not murder his mistress. Writing in first person from the wife's viewpoint, Woolrich evokes her love and anguish and, finally, desperation as she becomes an avenging angel in her attempt to rescue her husband from execution.
“Nothing beats a tale of fatalistic dread by the supreme master of suspense, Cornell Woolrich, whose novels and short stories define the essence of noir nihilism” -- Marilyn Stasio - New York Times Book Review
“Along with Raymond Chandler, Cornell Woolrich practically invented the genre of noir.” -- Newsday
“Woolrich devised and used instruments of psychological torture—his stories.” -- Time
“Woolrich was a master of the form.” -- Tom Nolan - Wall Street Journal
“You can palpably feel the agony in Woolrich and his work.” -- James Ellroy

From the 1930s until his death in 1968, Cornell Woolrich riveted the reading public with his mystery, suspense, and horror stories. Classic films like Hitchcock's Rear Window and Trauffaut's The Bride Wore Black and novels like Night has a Thousand Eyes and The Black Angel earned Woolrich epithets like "the twentieth century's Edgar Allen Poe" and "the father of noir."
