«L'heure blafarde» is the crime novel by William Irish, published by Folio in paperback (256 pages, in French).
In a New York dance hall, two young people meet after midnight: she doesn't dare leave alone and he can't leave the city while a murder points to him as the culprit. With dawn as the limit, they agree to find the real criminal before sunrise, in a race against time.
The novel was originally published as «Deadline at Dawn» in 1944; William Irish is the pseudonym of Cornell Woolrich. This edition belongs to the Folio Policier collection.
For readers of classic crime fiction looking for a nocturnal and oppressive story, set in a single early morning in New York.
Cornell George Hopley Woolrich was an American novelist and short story writer. He sometimes used the pseudonyms William Irish and George Hopley. His biographer, Francis Nevins Jr., rated Woolrich the fourth best crime writer of his day, behind Dashiell Hammett, Erle Stanley Gardner and Raymond Chandler.
