Clara Ervin, a striking blonde woman, leads a quiet life on a side street in Philadelphia as the second wife of an older office clerk. Her life crosses paths with two young men —a childhood sweetheart and a wealthy playboy— and with a third man who roams the dimly lit streets on his own business.
Vigileu aquesta dona was originally published as «Behold this Woman» in 1947; this Catalan edition belongs to the collection «Seleccions de la Cua de Palla».
For fans of crime novels and mid-20th-century crime fiction.
David Loeb Goodis was an American writer of crime fiction noted for his output of short stories and novels in the noir fiction genre. Born in Philadelphia, Goodis alternately resided there and in New York City and Hollywood during his professional years. According to critic Dennis Drabelle, "Despite his [university] education, a combination of ethnicity (Jewish) and temperament allowed him to empathize with outsiders: the working poor, the unjustly accused, fugitives, criminals."
