Phantom Lady, Cornell Woolrich
Scott Henderson stands accused of killing his wife, but when he left their New York City apartment, she was alive. He took the show tickets, walked over to Anselmo’s bar, and there met a pretty woman with a strange pumpkin-shaped hat. They agreed to spend the evening at dinner and the show, no names exchanged, no commitments, but when he retraces his steps with the homicide detectives the next day, no one can remember this Phantom Lady. A trial ensues, and Henderson receives the Death Penalty. Now his best friend, Conrad Lombard, with the help Detective Burgess and Carol Richman, Scott’s mistress, have only days to save Henderson from his fate in the electric chair. Cornell Woolrich’s novel is a tautly plotted noir thriller with a spectacular twist ending.
