'I'm a huge fan' SARAH WATERS
Two men meet in the picturesque backstreets of Athens. Chester MacFarlane is a conman with multiple false identities, near the end of his rope and on the run with his young wife Colette. Rydal Keener is a young drifter looking for adventure: he finds it in one evening as the law catches up to Chester and Colette, and their fates become fatally entwined.
Patricia Highsmith draws us deep into a cross-European game of cat and mouse in this masterpiece of suspense from the bestselling author of The Talented Mr Ripley.

I'm a huge fan
Sarah Waters
-
Highsmith's novels are peerlessly disturbing . . . bad dreams that keep us thrashing for the rest of the night
New Yorker
-
[Highsmith's] characters are irrational, and they leap to life in their very lack of reason . . . Highsmith is the poet of apprehension rather than fear
Graham Greene
-
Suspenseful and evocative
