Publisher Description
In the doorway of an elegant New York apartment, blood seeps over silk negligee, over polished wood floors and plush carpet: a beautiful young woman lies dead, her face disfigured by a single gun shot.
But who was Laura? What power did she hold over the very different men in her life? How does her portrait bewitch even Mark McPherson, the hard-bitten detective assigned to find her murderer?
One stormy night, Mark's investigation takes an unexpected turn...

Laura
The film holds classic status and this one of the times when, if you are a fan, it might be best to settle for the celluloid telling. The book hasn’t worn as well as the works of Chandler or Cain. The villain is painted in gaudy cardboard, the heroine vapid, the investigator a dull dog indeed. Of its time and out of time.
