The Lodger
By Marie Belloc Lowndes.
Filmed as The Lodger:
A Story of the London Fog, (1927), directed by Alfred Hitchcock.
Published by Academy
Chicago Publishers.
First published 1911, in
the January edition of McClure's Magazine.
Paperback.
ISBN-10: 0897336046
ISBN-13: 978-0897336048
Description:
"One of the best suspense novels ever written." –
The New York Times.
"This is a beautifully wrought novel of psychological
suspense that should have a place on any mystery buff's shelf of
classics." – Chicago Sun-Times.
This first class, highly-acclaimed thriller was published
in 1914, more than two decades after the so-called Jack the Ripper murders, on
which it is based, had occurred in Whitechapel, London. The murders – five in
all – appeared to be the work of a woman-hating fanatic, someone who also must
have had knowledge of anatomy, since the bodies were mutilated with surgical
skill.
Twenty years later, memories of these serial
killings were still fresh in Londoners’ minds and the author brilliantly
captures the sense of fear and horror which the murders evoked. Praise for this
novel has withstood the test of time in England, America, and around the world.
The Lodger has been adapted for the screen several times, most notably
by Alfred Hitchcock in 1926, his first film.
