Klappentext zu „Virago Modern Classics / Found in the Street “
BY THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE TALENTED MR RIPLEY, CAROL AND STRANGERS ON A TRAIN' The original, the best, the gloriously twisted Queen of Suspense' MARK BILLINGHAM
'Her books have stylistic texture, psychological depth, mesmeric readability' SUNDAY TIMES
'Uncomfortable, frightening, compulsive and, worst of all, terribly believable' TIME OUT
On a stroll through Greenwich Village, security guard Ralph Linderman finds a wallet on the sidewalk. It belongs to Jack Sutherland, a wealthy aspiring artist, and it is his misfortune to have it returned to him - with all $263 and credit cards untouched. Because now Ralph knows where Jack lives.
Elsie Tyler is a beautiful young waitress - an innocent in New York - and Ralph feels he must protect her from 'bad company'. When he sees Elsie leaving Jack's apartment, he is not pleased. Not pleased at all. He is entirely unprepared for the complex maze of sexual obsession and disturbing psychological intrigue he is about to be drawn into.
By the author of The Talented Mr Ripley, Found in the Street is an unsettling thriller that explores the bleakest alleyways of human desire.
