David Kelsey has an invincible conviction that life is going to work out just as he has planned it - if he can just fix 'the situation'. His one true love, the brilliant, beautiful Annabelle, has married another man. But that doesn't mean they can't still be friends. And even though she is pregnant with her husband Gerald's baby, that surely doesn't mean she won't one day get back together with David. She still loves him, of that he is certain. David is sure she'll take him back, and, under an alias, is setting up a wonderful 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, leaving David a desperate man on the run.

Anmeldelser
«No one has created psychological suspense more densely and deliciously satisfying»
Vogue
«I love Highsmith so much . . . What a revelation her writing is»
Gillian Flynn
«For eliciting the menace that lurks in familiar surroundings, there's no one like Patricia Highsmith»
Time
«Terrific book, very wry humour, and a great unreliable narrator»
Sarah Hilary
«A writer who has created a world of her own - a world claustrophobic and irrational which we enter each time with a sense of personal danger . . . Miss Highsmith is the poet of apprehension »
Graham Greene
«A cracker . . . a compellingly creepy novel that foreshadowed much of what Highsmith would explore in The Talented Mr Ripley»
Sydney Morning Herald
«Highsmith is a giant of the genre. The original, the best, the gloriously twisted Queen of Suspense»
Mark Billingham
«'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
«The No.1 Greatest Crime Writer»
