Nobody knows her identity, where she comes from or whither she goes. No connection, that is, aside from the appearance of a beautiful woman in each case, just before the victims met their untimely ends. There was nothing to connect it with the poisoning of a lonely man in his squalid apartment, or with the married business-man killed after him, sealed into a closet and left to suffocate. When the wealthy ladies’ man fell from his balcony in the midst of his engagement party, the police dismissed the death as the result of a freak accident.

The ending, with its devastating revelation of what’s behind the homicides, is as bleak as anything Woolrich ever wrote. Julie dispatches a second man by poisoning and manages to stay one step ahead of the law as she murders other victims. Then she pushes him off the terrace to his death and disappears, leaving the police baffled as to her identity and motive.
Out on the apartment’s terrace, Julie tells Bliss that, though he doesn’t recognize her, he’d seen her once before, when he was in a car with four other men. After renting a room under an assumed name, she cases the apartment house of well-to-do Ken Bliss, whose engagement party she later crashes. At the start of this somber crime novel from Woolrich (1903–1968), originally published in 1940, a woman named Julie buys a one-way ticket to Chicago at New York’s Grand Central Station, but she gets off at the first stop, still in Manhattan.
