# Vertigo, Deluxe Edition - Hardcover

by **Pierre Boileau** (Author), **Thomas Narcejac** (Author), **Geoffrey Salisbury** (Translator)

**An irresistible gift edition of the classic French noir novel that inspired Alfred Hitchcock's _Vertigo_**

In World War II-era Paris, a troubled-ex policeman is entangled in a web of deceit and lies when he investigates a woman's strange behavior

Flavi鑽es doesn't really want to investigate his old's friend's wife, but he doesn't feel he has much of a choice. Madeleine has been behaving strangely, and her husband wants answers -- answers that she isn't willing to give him.

As WWII rages around him, Flavi鑽es is drawn into an obsessive cat-and-mouse chase across Paris. Soon his intrigue is replaced by obsession and his dreams by nightmares, as he edges towards discovering a dark, terrible secret.

The most celebrated collaboration of a ground-breaking crime-writing duo, _Vertigo_ is the timeless story of morality and revenge, and the inspiration for Hitchcock's iconic film.

### Author Biography

**Boileau-Narcejac** is the nom-de-plume of Pierre Boileau (1906-89) and Thomas Narcejac (1908-98), one of France's most successful writing duos. Boileau and Narcejac both individually received the prestigious _Prix du roman d'aventures_ before beginning a partnership that spanned four decades, from the Fifties to the Eighties, and produced more than fifty thrillers. Their works inspired numerous films, including Alfred Hitchcock's _Vertigo_ and Henri-Georges Clouzot's _Les Diaboliques_, based on their 1952 debut novel _She Who Was No More._
