Book SynopsisWITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY PAULA HAWKINS, AUTHOR OF GIRL ON A TRAIN
"Hey! Cheeses, what an idea! I kill your wife and you kill my father! We meet on a train, see, and nobody knows we know each other! Perfect alibis! Catch?"
From this moment, almost against his conscious will, Guy Haines is trapped in a nightmare of shared guilt and an insidious merging of personalities. The psychologists would call it folie a deux...
Strangers on a Train was Patricia Highsmith's first novel, and adapted into a classic film by Alfred Hitchcock.

Trade ReviewA gem... A magnificent suspense * Daily Mail *
A writer who created a world of her own - a world claustrophobic and irrational which we enter each time with a sense of personal danger -- Graham Greene
A true original in crime fiction and a superb writer * The Times *
Her writing is clean, exact, polished to a hard glint; she combines an acute emotional perceptiveness with a disturbing readiness to torture her characters and, by extension, her audience * Stylist *
