I love [Highsmith] so much . . . what a revelation her writing was

Vorwort
Melinda and Vic Van Allen seem like the perfect couple - young, wealthy and attractive. But when their love sours, their mind games reach a twisted climax. Now a major film starring Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas.

Autorentext
Patricia Highsmith (1921-1995) was born in Fort Worth, Texas, and moved to New York when she was six. In her senior year, she edited the college magazine, having decided at the age of sixteen to become a writer. Her first novel, Strangers on a Train (1950), was made into a classic film by Alfred Hitchcock in 1951. The Talented Mr Ripley (1955), introduced the fascinating anti-hero Tom Ripley, and was made into an Oscar-winning film in 1999 by Anthony Minghella. Highsmith died in Locarno, Switzerland, in February 1995. Her last novel, Small g: A Summer Idyll, was published posthumously, the same year.
