Also, 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' by Stieg Larsson has a strong female character who has some femme fatale qualities. She's both alluring and a bit of a mystery in the detective - centered story. Then there's 'Double Indemnity' which is a classic noir with a femme fatale driving the dangerous plot.
