Written by the authorised biographer John Russell Taylor, the book presents an intimate and authoritative portrait of Hitchcock — from his working-class London upbringing to his rise as the undisputed Master of Suspense. Drawing on extensive personal interviews with Hitchcock himself, Taylor uncovers the private anxieties, creative obsessions, and meticulous genius behind iconic films such as Psycho, Vertigo, and Rear Window. The result is a richly detailed, compelling account that illuminates not only the man behind the camera but the cultural legacy he forged across six decades of filmmaking.
