My vote goes to Phantom Lady, despite its being difficult to
get in the U.S.
Agree with Bill on that and also about the movie. All of you
probably know
this already, but Woolrich was a great fan of F.Scott
Fitzgerald. There are
passages in This Side of Paradise (the dark, drank-to-much, 2am
walks in the
street of NYC followed by a ghost, etc.) plus his short story
Mr Dalyrymple
Goes Wrong that fit the hardboiled mode beautifully.
