The murders seemed to be the work of a woman-hating fanatic. There were a number of likely suspects, but all have alibis. The police were baffled and the citizens terrified, for somewhere in the gas-lit, fog-bound alleys of London a madman was at large. And then one night there came a knock at the door of a quiet lodging house on Marylebone Road...When The Lodger was first published in 1912, about twenty-five years after the gruesome 'Jack the Ripper' murders in London's Whitechapel section, praise was forthcoming from both sides of the Atlantic.

"The Lodger" was the basis for Alfred Hitchcock's first thriller, and a remarkable film it is. But the story Hitchcock tells--of young love and mistaken identity--is very different from Lowndes's tale, a story of an elderly couple with a strange and unsettling tenant--a man with peculiar habits who may be the Ripper himself.

In 1888, a series of prostitutes were brutally murdered in the East End of London. These gruesome crimes filled the press and shook England with fear and intrigue.

The only paperback edition of this classic available, The Lodger is a chilling page-turner from first to last.
