The sinister, mind-bending roman noir that inspired the 1958 Alfred Hitchcock classic, starring James Stewart and Kim Novak It could have happened to any of us, but it happened to a man named Flavieres. His days as a detective were over, and everyone knew he had his reasons. But when an old friend appeared out of nowhere with concerns about his withdrawn and mysterious wife, Flavieres didn't have the heart to refuse. Soon, he would be scouring the streets of Paris in search of an answer-in search of a girl who belonged to no one, not even to herself. Intrigue would be replaced by obsession, and dreams replaced by nightmares. This is the story of a desperate man.

Un día, llama a la puerta de Roger Flavières un antiguo compañero de la universidad que quiere contratarlo para que investigue a su mujer. El marido no sospecha que su esposa le sea infiel, sino que teme por su vida. El motivo de su temor no puede ser más sorprendente: cree que su mujer se halla poseída por el espíritu de una antepasada que murió trágicamente ahogada. Solo ello parece poder explicar por qué su esposa pasa por momentos en los que parece estar ausente, desaparece durante horas sin decir nada y se hunde a menudo en una profunda melancolía. Es así como Flavières empieza a seguir a Madeleine, una mujer de una inusual belleza de la que no tardará en enamorarse profundamente.
He aquí el extraño caso de una hermosa mujer que parece hallarse poseída por el espíritu de una antepasada, muerta en penosas circunstancias. Relato sobrecogedor, magistralmente ambientado, que desemboca en un final sorprendente pese a la lógica aplastante del desenlace. Se adaptó al cine con el Título de Vértigo (De entre los muertos) dirigida por Alfred Hitchcock
