- Book Synopsis
- An irresistible gift edition of the classic French noir novel that inspired Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo In World War II-era Paris, a troubled-ex policeman is entangled in a web of deceit and lies when he investigates a woman's strange behavior Flavières doesn't really want to investigate his old's friend's wife, but he doesn't feel he has much of a choice. Madeleine has been behaving strangely, and her husband wants answers - answers that she isn't willing to give him. As WWII rages around him, Flavières is drawn into an obsessive cat-and-mouse chase across Paris. Soon his intrigue is replaced by obsession and his dreams by nightmares, as he edges towards discovering a dark, terrible secret. The most celebrated collaboration of a ground-breaking crime-writing duo, Vertigo is the timeless story of morality and revenge, and the inspiration for Hitchcock's iconic film.
- About The Author
- Boileau-Narcejac is the nom-de-plume of Pierre Boileau (1906-89) and Thomas Narcejac (1908-98), one of France's most successful writing duos. Boileau and Narcejac both individually received the prestigious Prix du roman d'aventures before beginning a partnership that spanned four decades, from the Fifties to the Eighties, and produced more than fifty thrillers. Their works inspired numerous films, including Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo and Henri-Georges Clouzot's Les Diaboliques, based on their 1952 debut novel She Who Was No More.
