Laura

When Mark McPherson first falls in love with Laura, he knows he's in love with a phantom - for Laura is dead, and he's in charge of her murder investigation. From her portrait, her letters, her personal effects and from his contacts with the three men who loved her, Mark has created an image of a woman tantalizingly alive and real. When she appears in the midst of a thunderstorm, very much alive after all, it is revealed that Laura's best friend (and rival) was the true victim of the crime. But now, all the evidence seems to point to Laura's guilt. Is Mark going to have to pin the crime on the woman he's falling in love with? (mystery/thriller)
