'Ramon had done it. Obviously! He thought about Ramon, his Catholic soul trapped in his passion for Lelia. He'd find Ramon and see that he paid with his life for what he had done.' Mild-mannered Theo is a wealthy German expatriate; hot-tempered Ramon was born into poverty in Mexico City. The two men are unlikely friends - especially as they are in love with the same woman. When Lelia is found brutally murdered, both lovers are suspects - and each suspects the other. But then they discover that a thief was seen at Lelia's apartment, and their hunt leads them on a frantic chase to sun-drenched Acapulco. Theo begins to get the uneasy feeling that his every move is being watched.

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
«Highsmith writes about men like a spider writing about flies»
Observer
«For eliciting the menace that lurks in familiar surroundings, there's no one like Patricia Highsmith»
Time
«For some obscure reason, one of our greatest modernist writers, Patricia Highsmith, has been thought of in her own land as a writer of thrillers. She is both. She is certainly one of the most interesting writers of this dismal century»
Gore Vidal
«There's no thriller writer's gamesmanship in her novels, none of the reassuring trickery of professional pulp; Highsmith's style is as blunt and straightforward as a strip-search»
New Yorker
«Classic»
USA Today
«The No.1 Greatest Crime Writer»
