The 10 Faces Of Cornell Woolrich: An Inner Sanctum Collection of Novelettes and Short Stories

It was distinguished with an introduction Ellery Queen , who wrote rather arbitrarily that Woolrich's ninth face....is really a mask. For what do we know of the man inside?....Woolrich is retiring almost to the point of being a recluse. When we add up all we know, we know very little, and Woolrich is reluctant to reveal his inner self.... : The present collection is made up of 10 mystery novelettes and a number of his short stories. A master of the form and a most versatile creator, this Woolrich treasure chest holds something for every taste -- police method stories; suspense touched with a controlled horror; the psychological stumper, and the action chase/adventure. Pick a face, any face ... all handsome.
