The Woman. She's beautiful, and seductive, and as shifting as a shadow. Her name, her appearance, and her victims are forever changing. There is only one constant in the woman's life: her chilling motive. . . . The Eye. A private investigator, driven and obsessed. A desperate loner with secrets of his own. His job? To follow the woman. But catching her is the last thing on his mind. He likes to watch. And the closer he gets, the more dangerous his fantasy becomes. . . .

Eye of the Beholder

She is every inch a woman - and every bit a Nazi. Edmonde, beautiful and depraved, who quotes Shakespeare, then screams "Seig Heil" and plunges into orgies of impossible desire and brutal savagery. Edmonde, who moves from bedroom to bedroom, woman to woman, from beerhall to bunker in the twilight world of the Nazi pantheon. The Queen Of The Night parallels the moral slide of the Third Reich with the sexual and violent excesses of an amoral amorous woman. The result is a bizarrely beautiful novel - a savage satire, brilliant and macabre.

The Eye of the Beholder

"One of the most remarkable combinations of a private-eye novel and psychological suspense story, with an entirely new slant, that has ever been published." — The New York Times Book Review At the center of this genre-bending tale of sex, death, and parental love is a private investigator known as The Eye, who has been seeking his missing daughter for many years. In the course of his search, he encounters a mysterious femme fatale who routinely attracts, robs, and murders wealthy men. The Eye knows perfectly well that this woman is not his long-lost daughter, yet he's compelled to follow her, destroying the evidence of her murders, covering her tracks, and taking an active — though silent — role in her crimes. This offbeat mystery's portrait of a pair of despondent loners presents a haunting tale of obsession. "A pivotal work in the history of mystery fiction." — The Guardian

The Eye of the Beholder (Dover Literature: Crime/Mystery/Thriller)

Dover Publications

Product Description "Insanely evocative and extremely satisfying." — The Times (UK)Joe Egan has spent his life on the run. When he was a child, he thought he saw the angel of death. Now every time someone close to him dies, a mysterious blonde woman appears and he's forced to retreat, abandoning jobs and relationships in a never-ending flight across a hallucinatory version of the United States. Is the woman real, a figment of his imagination, or a supernatural apparition — perhaps even the devil incarnate?The Guardian praised Marc Behm as "a terrific novelist," adding that "Afraid to Death is a fascinating mirror image to The Eye of the Beholder." Behn's previous novel, also available from Dover Publications, spins a gripping tale of obsession and suspense in which a private investigator trails an enigmatic young woman. But this time the protagonist, a dissolute gambler, is being chased by a female character whose reoccurrences excite both fear and attraction. About the Author In addition to a pair of modern noir classic novels, The Eye of the Beholder and Afraid to Death, Marc Behm (1925–2007) wrote several screenplays, including Charade, starring Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant, and the Beatles' second movie, Help! His acclaimed mystery The Eye of the Beholder has twice been adapted for the screen.
