Patricia Highsmith
Deep Water

Published by Diogenes as Tiefe Wasser

Vic Van Allen has a reputation of being slightly odd, but friendly and tolerant. His friends find him a bit too tolerant with regards to his wife Melinda's string of lovers, although Vic makes sure that these guys know that he's the jealous type. When one of Melinda's lovers is found murdered, Vic is swift to suggest that he might have been responsible. But as rumours start to spread among their friends, the boundaries between fiction and reality become blurred.

»For some unknown reason Patricia Highsmith, one of the most important modern narrators, is regarded as an author of crime novels. She is both.«Gore Vidal

»The outstanding merit of ›Deep Water‹ is the dexterity with which it develops the psychopath's portrait from the first faint agreeable outline to the full dark horrific colours of schizophrenia. If you read crime stories at all, or perhaps especially if you don't, you should read ›Deep Water‹.«The Sunday Times
