The Black Curtain.

CORNELL WOOLRICH

Publication: Simon and Schuster, 1941, New York

First edition. Faint offsetting to front and rear free endpapers from reaction to the flap folds, else a fine, bright copy in bright dust jacket with light professional restoration to spine ends. 1001 Midnights says, "...surely one of the best suspense novels ever written on the overworked theme of amnesia. It was filmed in 1942 as Street of Chance with Burgess Meredith as the man searching for his past,..." Frank Townsend is a man who lost three years of his life, who did not know where he'd been during that time, nor what he'd done. Gradually, with a mounting sense of horror, Frank realizes that his future is menaced by his unknown past ... he is being watched and followed by a relentless pursuer. Handsome copy.
