Or Martin said to Andreu who the black novel is characterized because always there is a corpse, is in the beginning or at the end of history. Gil Blaine is surrounded in the red tide of the murder, with that unnatural hunger of blood, like fattened tiger, and her Jaqueline wife, Jackie for the friends, has a feeling it. Jackie Blaine has offered a celebration to try to obtain the 2500 dollars, but the only thing that it has at the beginning of the new day after his night of juerga, is a horrible headache and the sensation of something indefinable. Lioness, its assistant, wanted to receive its fallen wages, but the money does not abound in this elegant large house... Only the appearances.

In this suffocating atmosphere, Woolrich manages to draw a history of intrigues, where the condition is felt in each one of the pages of this brief booklet that demonstrates its genius. Woolrich --- that before has signed like William Irish like pseudónimo --- one of the exhibitors of the American black novel, knows to create that necessary tension that gives force to the story, and in apparent situations that leads to want to finish to you of once, the protagonists hang of a weak histriónico balance not to fall imprisoned of the nerves. Ward, the police inspector, arrives at the end to request inn in the house of the suspects and is who, at that time, becomes the solution to the problem. "the red tide" is one finished sample of the style of a shining writer, or passed away, whose works were taken to the cinema with directors of the stature of Alfred Hitchcock or Truffaut. Published originally in 1940, "the red Tide", full the expectations of the most demanding reader.
