'Highsmith is a damn fine writer' Guardian '[Highsmith is] the doyenne of upmarket suspense writing' Daily Telegraph 'Highsmith's prose is lean, translucent, compact, direct and, crucially, neutral to the horror it depicts and indifferent to our attempts at rationalisation' The Times 'Highsmith understood the psychology of people's darker urges' Los Angeles Times

Ray Garrett is recently bereaved after his beloved wife commits suicide. But Ed Coleman, his wife's doting father, is determined to get to the bottom of her mysterious death. Against the compelling but sinister backdrop of Venice in winter, Garrett and Coleman are caught up in a deadly cat-and-mouse game shot through with vengeance and suspicion. As they switch between the roles of hunter and hunted, this tense psychological novel races towards a thrilling climax.
