Patricia Highsmith
Those Who Walk Away

Published by Diogenes as Venedig kann sehr kalt sein

The honeymoon is over, as they say, the bride dead by her own hand. Ray Garrett, the grieving husband, convinces the police in Rome of his innocence, but not his father-in-law, the American painter Ed Coleman, who shoots him at point-blank range and leaves him for dead. Ray survives, however, and follows Coleman to Venice, where the two fall into an eerie game of cat-and-mouse: Coleman obsessed with vengeance and Ray equally insistent on clearing his conscience.

Quotes

»In her psychological thrillers, dotted with American travellers strolling accross Europe against an eerily blurred backdrop, Patricia Highsmith, that virtuoso of literary sin and atonement, has no need of corpses to create high suspense and draw her readers into a thoroughly convincing world. »In the uniquely Italian atmosphere of the evening...nothing was impossible.« Impossible too not be utterly captivated by the sheer soul-fraying craftiness of her crime thrillers.«Der Spiegel
