Just in time for the centennial celebration of groundbreaking noir
fiction writer Patricia Highsmith comes a reissue of her
propulsive, engrossing debut, Strangers on a Train, with a new
introduction by best-selling author Paula Hawkins. Guy Haines and
Charles Anthony Bruno are passengers on the same train. Haines is a
successful architect in the midst of a divorce, Bruno a mysterious
smooth-talker with a sadistic proposal: he'll murder Haines's wife
if Haines will murder Bruno's father. As Bruno carries out his
twisted plan, Guy finds himself trapped in Highsmith's perilous
world, where, under the right circumstances, ordinary people are
capable of extraordinary crimes. The inspiration for Alfred
Hitchcock's classic 1951 film, Strangers on a Train launched
Highsmith's prolific career, proving her a master at depicting the
unsettling forces that tremble beneath the surface of everyday
life.
