Synopsis

In Woolrich's iconic tale, Detective Tom Shawn saves a lovely young woman from a suicide attempt one night and later hears her story. She is in despair because the death of her wealthy father has been predicted by a confidence man seemingly gifted with the power of clairvoyance, a man whose predictions have unerringly aided her father in his business many times before. Shawn and a squad of detectives investigate this dire prediction and try to avert the millionaire businessman from meeting his ordained end at the stroke of midnight.One of Cornell Woolrich's most influential novels, this classic noir tale of a man struggling with his ability to see the future is arguably the author's best in its depiction of a doomed vision of predestination.

Goodreads review by Anthony on February 08, 2016

This has been on my "to be read" pile since I discovered it at the Mysterious Bookshop in NYC several years ago. Reading Block's story "As Dark As Christmas Gets," in which another unpublished Woolrich manuscript disappears, reminded me that I was long overdue to read Into the Night, so I bumped it......more
