Overview: J. H. Wallis (1885-1958) was a writer whose best-selling book Once Off Guard (in later publications it was called The Woman in the Window) was made into a film, The Woman in the Window (1944), directed by Fritz Lang.
Wanley decided he would not bother with fiction; he would read the old love poems and go home—but he didn’t go home!
No, Richard Wanley did not go home. Instead he became involved in the most terrifying and devastating experience in his life that one night he was off guard.
For the woman put her arm through his, and pressed against him, and he was powerless to pull himself free. His guard had dropped. It was a small incident which occurred so quickly that it might have been a dream.
But it was no dream. All Wanley’s prayers couldn’t turn it into a dream. Richard Wanley, devoted husband of a lovely wife, walked through the night with a strange creature who had stopped beside him as he looked into a window to admire a painting. What emotional influences were guiding him on that night? What was the first misstep, apparently so tiny as to be unnoticeable, that was to drag Wanley down from his respectable position as a scholar?
J.H. Wallis has written one of the most strangely fascinating psychological crime stories of the century. And as you read the weird tale of this man’s one mistake, you will ask yourself, “might not I have been in his position? Is this not a natural occurrence? Is the moving finger of time relentless enough to leave un-erased the events of a single night?” And as you search for the answer, you will undergo an unforgettable experience. You will remain bewitched by the surprise, suspense and excitement of the story for months to come.
