A Game for the Living
Autor Patricia Highsmithen Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 ian 2016
Hot-tempered Ramón was born into poverty in Mexico City; mild-mannered Theo is a wealthy German expatriate. The two men are unlikely friends - especially as they are in love with the same woman. When Lelia is found brutally murdered, both lovers are suspects - and each suspects the other. Until they discover that a thief was seen at Lelia's apartment, and seize on the possibility that he is the murderer. Their hunt leads them on a frantic chase to sun-drenched Acapulco, and to a colonial town where Theo gets the uneasy feeling that his every move is being watched.
'Highsmith is a giant of the genre. The original, the best, the gloriously twisted Queen of Suspense' Mark Billingham
'One closes most of her books with a feeling that the world is more dangerous than one had ever imagined' Julian Symons, New York Times Book Review

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.
