Description

It was jealousy that kept David from sleeping, drove him from a tousled bed out of the dark and silent boarding house to walk the streets...

David Kelsey has an unswerving conviction that life is going to work out for him - if he can just fix the 'Situation'. His one true love, the brilliant, beautiful Annabelle, has married another man. But that doesn't mean she doesn't still love David. Even though she's pregnant with her husband's baby, David is certain she will take him back. Under an alias, he is setting up the perfect home for the two of them in a town close by. And everything is just about going to plan, until things take a murderous turn... An addictively twisted study of obsession from the bestselling author of The Talented Mr Ripley.

Introduced by Sarah Hilary

'The No.1 Greatest Crime Writer' THE TIMES

' I love Highsmith so much. What a revelation her writing is' GILLIAN FLYNN

'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
About Patricia Highsmith
Patricia Highsmith (1921-1995) was born in Fort Worth, Texas, and moved to New York when she was six. In her senior year, she edited the college magazine, having decided at the age of sixteen to become a writer. Her first novel, Strangers on a Train (1950), was made into a classic film by Alfred Hitchcock in 1951. The Talented Mr Ripley (1955), introduced the fascinating anti-hero Tom Ripley, and was made into an Oscar-winning film in 1999 by Anthony Minghella. Highsmith died in Locarno, Switzerland, in February 1995. Her last novel, Small g: A Summer Idyll, was published posthumously, the same year.
