Description
An intense, macabre anthology focusing not only on murder, but also on more unusual crimes and misdemeanours that are beyond the reaches of prosecution. Told in Highsmith's typically impassive, lucid writing style, the work has been noted for its high degree of tension and, in some cases, surrealism. Contents "Something the Cat Dragged In" "Not One of Us" "The Terror of Basket-Weaving" "Under a Dark Angel's Eye" "I Despise Your Life" "The Dream of the Emma C" "Old Folks at Home" "When in Rome" "Blow It" "The Kite" "The Black House"
