"The Bride Wore Black" is one of Woolrich's most popular and celebrated novels. When a wealthy groom falls to his death from a balcony during his engagement party, the police rule it an accident. Only Detective Vanger, learning that a mysterious woman was seen with the deceased shortly before his death, suspects murder. When two more men, seen in the company of an unknown woman remarkable for her beauty, die under strange circumstances, Vanger realizes he is investigating a series of crimes. But what unites these people, seemingly unfamiliar with each other? And why would someone wish their deaths on them?
"Black Curtain" is a detective story about memory, the mysteries of identity, and the past. Frank Townsend suffers a blow to the head in an accident, but when he returns home, he doesn't recognize his own apartment and discovers that his wife has moved out. It turns out that three years ago, he went to work as usual in the morning and disappeared. He has no memory of what happened to him all this time, no idea what he did or where he lived, but soon discovers he's been accused of murder. Frank must not only figure out what happened to him but also clear his own name. What he doesn't yet know is that he's in grave danger; he's already being watched and no one can be trusted.
