Sorry, Wrong Number
New York: Bantam, 1948. Softcover. Bantam Book #356. Movie tie-in edition, based on the radio and screen play by Fletcher. The film stars Barbara Stanwyck and Burt Lancaster, directed by Hal Wallis and released by Paramount Pictures. The only published book source for the 1948 film noir, originally a play by Lucille Fletcher. Fletcher adapted the play for the film version in 1948, and this novelization, based on her screenplay, was published just prior to the film's release. "One of those auspicious meldings of high noir style and content that depicts a grim, hysterical situation with maximum levels of narrative depth, credibility and suspense."
