Espionage, adventure and a hard-boiled heroine not to be trifled
with - this classic noir will have you gripped from start to finish
Julie Guilles is in trouble. She's fled her home in Occupied France
for a seedy neighbourhood in New York and has been laying low - but
not low enough. Because now she has the Gestapo, the FBI and her
shady Uncle, the Duc de Guille, all on her tail, and her options
are running out. Whispers of the Blackbirder reach her - a sinister
figure who, for the right price, can promise safe passage across
the border to New Mexico. Finding the Blackbirder is her only
chance of escape - but what if the Blackbirder doesn't want to be
found? 'Dorothy B. Hughes ranks with Raymond Chandler and Patricia
Highsmith as a master of mid-century noir' New York Review of Books
