"Flavières doesn't really want to investigate his old's friend's wife, but he doesn't feel he has much of a choice. Madeleine has been behaving strangely, and her husband wants answers -- answers that she isn't willing to give him. As WWII rages around him, Flavières is drawn into an obsessive cat-and-mouse chase across Paris. Soon his intrigue is replaced by obsession and his dreams by nightmares, as he edges towards discovering a dark, terrible secret. The most celebrated collaboration of a ground-breaking crime-writing duo, Vertigo is the timeless story of morality and revenge, and the inspiration for Hitchcock's iconic film." --- Subjects: Thrillers (Fiction); Detective and mystery fiction.; Identity (Philosophical concept); Ex-police officers;

To make his daughter whole, Dr. Génessier enlists his assistant Louise in a devious plot: she follows and befriends beautiful young women, so the doctor can remove their faces in painstaking operations, to graft onto Christiane. Sadly, her body rejects the new faces, and so she wears an emotionless mask to cover up her scars. Dr. Génessier's genuine feelings of love and guilt are balanced by his astonishing arrogance and hubris, pressing the moral and legal limits of science for a single, selfish interest. The results are surely going to be disastrous, and deadly.MPAA Rating: Not rated.- Subjects: Horror films.; Detective and mystery films.; Feature films.; Fiction films.; Film adaptations.; Video recordings for the hearing impaired.; Fathers and daughters; Plastic surgeons; Abduction;
