Patricia Highsmith
A Dog's Ransom
Long out of print, this Highsmith classic
resurfaces with a vengeance.
"The great revival of interest in Patricia Highsmith
continues with the publication of this novel
that will give dog owners nightmares
for years to come. With an eerie simplicity of style,
Highsmith turns our next-door
neighbors into sadistic psychopaths, lying in wait
among white picket fences and manicured lawns.
In A Dog's Ransom, Highsmith blends
a savage humor with brilliant social satire
in this dark tale of a highminded
criminal who hits a wealthy Manhattan couple
where it hurts the most
when he kidnaps their beloved poodle.
This work attesets to Highsmith's reputation as
'the poet of apprehension'
(Graham Greene)."
Patricia Highsmith is the author of such classics as
Strangers on a Train and The Talented Mr. Ripley.
She died in 1995 in Locarno, Switzerland.
