• 3 stele, bazat pe 1 voturi

• Laura Hunt was the ideal modern woman: beautiful, elegant, highly ambitious, and utterly mysterious.
• No man could resist her charms--not even the hardboiled NYPD detective sent to find out who turned her into a faceless corpse.
• As this tough cop probes the mystery of Laura's death, he becomes obsessed with her strange power.
• Soon he realizes he's been seduced by a dead woman--or has he?
• Laura won lasting renown as an Academy Award-nominated 1944 film, the greatest noir romance of all time.
• Vera Caspary's equally haunting novel is remarkable for its stylish, hardboiled writing, its electrifying plot twists, and its darkly complex characters--including a woman who stands as the ultimate femme fatale.
• Femmes Fatales restores to print the best of women's 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.
