A thrilling and deadly novel set in the streets of Venice

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.

Patricia Highsmith was born in Fort Worth, Texas, in 1921. Her first novel, Strangers on a Train, was made into a film by Alfred Hitchcock in 1951.

Patricia Highsmith died in Locarno, Switzerland, in February 1995. Her last novel, Small g: A Summer Idyll, was published posthumously.
