By the bestselling author of The Talented Mr Ripley, Carol and
Strangers on a Train 'Highsmith's novels are peerlessly disturbing
. . . bad dreams that keep us thrashing for the rest of the night'
New Yorker Sydney Bartleby has killed his wife. At least, he has
thought about it, compulsively, repeatedly, plotting schemes,
designing escapes, forging alibis. Of course he has; he's a
thriller writer. He even knows how to dispose of her body. But when
Alicia takes a long, unannounced holiday, Sydney descends into the
treacherous world of his own fantasy. A masterpiece of noir fantasy
in which Highsmith revels in eliciting the unsettling psychological
forces that lurk beneath the surface of everyday life.
