Synopsis

THE WORLD-FAMOUS SUSPENSE NOVEL FROM WHICH ALFRED HITCHCOCK CREATED HIS MOVIE MASTERPIECE, REDISCOVERED BY EDGAR AWARD-WINNING MYSTERY EXPERT OTTO PENZLER! Iris Carr is a beautiful, young socialite on her way back home to England after vacationing in Europe. Feeling terribly alone and afraid, she finds comfort in the company of a strange woman she knows only as "Miss Froy." But comfort soon turns to horror when Miss Froy mysteriously vanishes without a trace. Fearing madness, risking death, Iris desperately tries to solve the sudden disappearance of her traveling companion-a woman no one else on the journey remembers seeing at all!

About this title

Book Description:

Ethel Lina White's thriller classic, featuring the original 'girl on a train' scenario.

From the Back Cover:

70 years of timeless stories. One essential collection.

She’s the original girl on a train . . .

In this nail-bitingly tense thriller, Iris Henderson finds herself in a terrifying situation when her travelling companion on a cross-Europe train journey vanishes suddenly from their compartment. Every other passenger on board insists that the woman doesn’t exist – that she was never there at all.

But as the train rattles on through Europe it becomes increasingly clear that something very sinister is at work and Iris must embark on her own investigation to discover the unsettling truth. Hugely influential in the seventy years since its original publication (then titled The Wheel Spins), The Lady Vanishes remains a thriller of inimitable quality and power.
