BY THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE TALENTED MR RIPLEY, CAROL AND STRANGERS ON A TRAIN

' The original, the best, the gloriously twisted Queen of Suspense' MARK BILLINGHAM

'Her books have stylistic texture, psychological depth, mesmeric readability' SUNDAY TIMES

'Uncomfortable, frightening, compulsive and, worst of all, terribly believable' TIME OUT

On a stroll through Greenwich Village, security guard Ralph Linderman finds a wallet on the sidewalk. It belongs to Jack Sutherland, a wealthy aspiring artist, and it is his misfortune to have it returned to him - with all $263 and credit cards untouched. Because now Ralph knows where Jack lives.

Elsie Tyler is a beautiful young waitress - an innocent in New York - and Ralph feels he must protect her from 'bad company'. When he sees Elsie leaving Jack's apartment, he is not pleased. Not pleased at all. He is entirely unprepared for the complex maze of sexual obsession and disturbing psychological intrigue he is about to be drawn into.

By the author of The Talented Mr Ripley, Found in the Street is an unsettling thriller that explores the bleakest alleyways of human desire.

MEDIA REVIEWS

By her hypnotic art Patricia Highsmith puts the suspense story into a toweringly high place in the hierarchy of fiction - The Times

Highsmith is a giant of the genre. The original, the best, the gloriously twisted Queen of Suspense - Mark Billingham

To call Patricia Highsmith a thriller writer is true but not the whole truth: her books have stylistic texture, psychological depth, mesmeric readability - Sunday Times

Highsmith was every bit as deviant and quirky as her mischievous heroes, and didn't seem to mind if everyone knew it - J. G. Ballard, Daily Telegraph

Uncomfortable, frightening, compulsive and, worst of all, terribly believable - Time Out

I love Highsmith so much . . . What a revelation her writing is - Gillian Flynn

No one has created psychological suspense more densely and deliciously satisfying - Vogue

One of the finest crime novelists - New York Times

An extremely clever novel . . . there is no one quite like Highsmith - Anita Brookner

Intoxicating flavor and promise - Publishers Weekly

Highsmith, a pioneer of the psychopathology thriller, is to some extent responsible for the high level of craft at work in that genre today - Kirkus Reviews
