She is distant and neurotic and Walter finds himself harbouring gruesome fantasies about her demise.

Under the intense scrutiny of the investigation he commits one mistake then another until - in true Highsmithian fashion - Walter finds his perfect life derailed.

With unerring psychological insight Patricia Highsmith portrays characters who cross the precarious line separating fantasy from reality.
