Description

Now a major film starring Oscar-winner Ben Affleck and Golden Globe-nominee Ana de Armas.

If you read crime stories at all or perhaps especially if you don t, you should read Deep Water
SUNDAY TIMES

If I really don t like somebody, I kill him . . . You remember Malcolm McRae, don t you?

To everyone around them, Melinda and Vic Van Allen are the perfect couple - young, wealthy and attractive. But when their love sours, their mind games reach a twisted, dangerous climax.

If I really don t like somebody, I kill him . . . You remember Malcolm McRae, don t you?

Melinda Van Allen is beautiful, headstrong and sexy. Unfortunately for Vic Van Allen, she is his wife. Their love has soured, and Melinda takes pleasure in flaunting her many affairs to her husband. When one of her lovers is murdered, Vic hints to her latest conquest that he was responsible. As rumours spread about Vic s vicious streak, fiction and reality start to converge. It s only a matter of time before Vic really does have blood on his hands.

About the Author

Patricia Highsmith (1921-1995) was born in Fort Worth, Texas, and moved to New York when she was six. In her senior year she edited the college magazine, having decided at the age of sixteen to become a writer. Her first novel, Strangers on a Train, was made into a classic film by Alfred Hitchcock in 1951. The Talented Mr Ripley, published in 1955, introduced the fascinating anti-hero Tom Ripley, and was made into an Oscar-winning film in 1999 by Anthony Minghella. Graham Greene called Patricia Highsmith the poet of apprehension , saying that she created a world of her own - a world claustrophobic and irrational which we enter each time with a sense of personal danger and The Times named her no.1 in their list of the greatest ever crime writers. Patricia Highsmith died in Locarno, Switzerland, in February 1995. Her last novel, Small g: A Summer Idyll, was published posthumously, the same year.
