Guy Haines and Charles Anthony Bruno are passengers on the same train. Haines is a successful architect in the midst of a divorce, Bruno a mysterious smooth-talker with a sadistic proposal: he'll murder Haines's wife if Haines will murder Bruno's father. As Bruno carries out his twisted plan, Guy finds himself trapped in Highsmith's perilous world, where, under the right circumstances, ordinary people are capable of extraordinary crimes. The inspiration for Alfred Hitchcock's classic 1951 film, Strangers on a Train launched Highsmith's prolific career, proving her a master at depicting the unsettling forces that tremble beneath the surface of everyday life"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Railroad travel $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Strangers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Murderers $v Fiction. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20221005015445.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=65A2F27A7CB711EB8C51190E5AECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
