Waterstones Says

The author of The Talented Mr Ripley delivers a peerlessly disturbing masterpiece of suspicion, as a young drifter's life becomes dangerously entwined with a mysterious couple on their travels across Europe.

By the bestselling author of The Talented Mr Ripley, Carol and Strangers on a Train.

Two men meet in the picturesque backstreets of Athens. Chester MacFarlane is a conman with multiple false identities, near the end of his rope and on the run with his young wife Colette.

Rydal Keener is a young drifter looking for adventure: he finds it in one evening as the law catches up to Chester and Colette, and their fates become fatally entwined.

Patricia Highsmith draws us deep into a cross-European game of cat and mouse in this masterpiece of suspense.

MEDIA REVIEWS

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

There are many attractive parts to this thriller - handsome leads, a meaty Patricia Highsmith plot, Mediterranean sunlight on cream linen suits - Guardian

The No. 1 greatest crime writer - The Times

An offbeat, provocative and absorbing suspense novel - New York Times

With fantastic pace and mounting tension the plot propels you into a nail-biting game of cat-and-mouse - Val Hennessy, Daily Mail

I'm a huge fan - Sarah Waters

Highsmith's novels are peerlessly disturbing . . . bad dreams that keep us thrashing for the rest of the night - New Yorker

[Highsmith's] characters are irrational, and they leap to life in their very lack of reason . . . Highsmith is the poet of apprehension rather than fear - Graham Greene

Suspenseful and evocative - Stylist
