Recommended reading - The Black Angel, by Cornell Woolrich (1943):

The Black Angel

By Cornell Woolrich.

Filmed as Black Angel (1946), directed by Roy William Neill.

Published by Pegasus Crime.

First published 1943.

ISBN-10: 1605983551

ISBN-13: 9781605983554

Description:

Nothing beats a tale of fatalistic dread by the supreme master of suspense, Cornell Woolrich, whose novels and short stories define the essence of noir nihilism. – Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review.

Along with Raymond Chandler, Cornell Woolrich practically invented the genre of noir. – Newsday.

Woolrich devised and used instruments of psychological torture―his stories. – Time.

Woolrich was a master of the form. – Tom Nolan, Wall Street Journal.

You can palpably feel the agony in Woolrich and his work. – James Ellroy.

A classic is back in print! This hypnotic thriller, by one of the originators of the noir form, exposes its heroine to a waking nightmare.

In this classic crime novel, a panic-stricken young wife races against time to prove that her convicted husband did not murder his mistress. Writing in first person from the wife’s viewpoint, Woolrich evokes her love and anguish and, finally, desperation as she becomes an avenging angel in her attempt to rescue her husband from execution.
