Description
“Strangers on a Train” is the debut novel by Patricia Highsmith, a virtuoso of the psychological thriller genre, published in 1950 and immediately placed its creator among the recognized professionals of the genre.
Is there such a thing as the perfect crime? A murder that can’t be solved because nothing links the criminal to the victim. An accidental acquaintance on a train plunges young architect Guy Haines into a sticky web of horror. It seems his dream has come true, and nothing will stand between him and the coveted freedom and happiness with a woman he loves. But what is the price of this freedom—and what will happen if that debt is never paid?..
In this mesmerizingly unsettling novel, Patricia Highsmith once again masterfully explores themes of psychopathy, dependent relationships, and the dark corners of the soul that, if you dig deep, exist in each of us. A tense psychological thriller became a real classic and has been adapted for film more than once, including by Hollywood’s king of horror, Alfred Hitchcock.
