Anmeldelser
«Highsmith's novels are peerlessly disturbing . . . bad dreams that keep us thrashing for the rest of the night»
New Yorker
«There are many attractive parts to this thriller - handsome leads, a meaty Patricia Highsmith plot, Mediterranean sunlight on cream linen suits»
Guardian

Graham Greene
«Suspenseful and evocative»
Stylist
«The No. 1 greatest crime writer »
The Times
«An offbeat, provocative and absorbing suspense novel »
