Strangers on a Train (Paperback)
Patricia Highsmith (author)Published: 12/08/1999
A chance locomotive encounter sets in motion a diabolical transaction in one of Highsmith’s most perfectly plotted and morally disturbing psychological thrillers.
The psychologists would call it folie a deux...
'Bruno slammed his palms together. 'Hey! Cheeses, what an idea! I kill your wife and you kill my father! We meet on a train, see, and nobody knows we know each other! Perfect alibis! Catch?''
From this moment, almost against his conscious will, Guy Haines is trapped in a nightmare of shared guilt and an insidious merging of personalities.
