Description
The greatest noir romance of all time, Laura won lasting renown as an Academy Award-nominated 1944 film: âan intriguing melodrama. . . . A top-drawer mystery.â (The New York Times) A brutal murder. A tough detective. And a woman who kept men spellboundâeven after her death.
Laura Hunt was the ideal modern woman: beautiful, elegant, highly ambitious, and utterly mysterious. No man could resist her charmsânot even the hardboiled NYPD detective sent to investigate her murder. As this cop probes the mystery of Lauraâs death, he finds himself drawn to the mere idea of her. As the circumstances surrounding her death become more intriguing, he comes to a startling realizationâheâs in love with a dead woman.
But is she even dead?
Vera Casparyâs equally haunting novel is remarkable for its stylish, hardboiled writing, its electrifying plot twists, and its darkly complex charactersâincluding a woman who stands as the ultimate femme fatale.
Femmes Fatales restores to print the best of womenâs writing in the classic pulp genres of the mid-20th century. From mystery to hard-boiled noir to taboo lesbian romance, these rediscovered queens of pulp offer subversive perspectives on a turbulent era.
