I guess a case could be made that the cop in I Was Dora Suarez fell in love with the victim whose murder he was investigating.
Not falling in love with a dead woman, but the PI in Eye of the Beholder falls in love with a Black Widow he is investigating.

> OK, Avians, I'm working on an article and looking for books and films in which a man falls for and/or becomes sexually obsessed with a murdered stranger AFTER her death. For example LAURA (even though she turns out to be alive after all) or Ellroy's BLACK DAHLIA. Ideally, I need a few contemporary examples but older stuff would help too.

> Also, can anyone think of an example of the opposite? A woman who falls for a murdered stranger after his death?
