Laura Hunt was the ideal modern woman: beautiful, elegant, highly ambitious, and utterly mysterious. No man could resist her charms – not even the hardboiled NYPD detective sent to find out who turned her into a faceless corpse. As this tough cop probes the mystery of Laura’s death, he becomes obsessed with her strange power. Soon he realizes he’s been seduced by a dead woman – or has he? Noir at its best! To paraphrase UCLA basketball coach John Wooden: the problem with new books is they keep us from reading the old ones. Femmes Fatales (publishing) restores to print the best of women’s writing in the classic pulp genres of the mid-20th century.
