description: In this thrilling tale of greed and deception, Cornell Woolrich tells of middle-aged Louis Durand, whose fiancée died fifteen years ago on the eve of their wedding. Now Louis decides to take one more chance at love by marrying Julia Russell, a woman he knows only by correspondence. When she arrives on the day of their wedding, she is younger and more beautiful than he expected—and far more deadly. Louis soon comes to realize that Julia is not who she claims to be—and they both embark on a waltz into darkness.
