Noir fiction that would make Hitchcock proud. Number 1 NYTimes Bestseller. Gripping thriller. Sold in 40 territories around the world and currently in development as a major film at Fox.
A.J. Finn (US) spent a decade working in publishing in both New York and London, with a particular emphasis on thrillers and mysteries. The Woman in the Window was inspired by a range of experiences: A.J. Finn’s lifelong love affair with suspense fiction, from the Sherlock Holmes stories that he devoured as a child, to the work of Patricia Highsmith, whom he studied at the graduate level at Oxford, his passion for classic cinema, especially the films of Alfred Hitchcock; and his struggles with agoraphobia and depression. The result is a psychological thriller in the vein of Gillian Flynn, Tana French, and Kate Atkinson.
