Synopsis
<div>Under the hot desert sun nothing is quite as it seems. Howard Ingham, an American writer, is sent to Tunisia to gather material for a movie, a love story too sordid to be set in America. But his director fails to arrive as scheduled and the erratic mails bring news of infidelities and suicide. Ingham—for reasons obscure even to himself—decides to stay on and work instead on a novel. Gradually, however, a series of peculiar events—a hushed-up murder, a vanished corpse, and secret broadcasts to the Soviet Union—lures him inexorably into the deep, ambivalent shadows of this Arab town; into deceit and away from conventional morality. And when Ingham finds an accomplice to murder, or perhaps something more, what is in question is not justice or truth, but the state of his oddly quiet conscience.</div>

Review
I love [Highsmith] so much . . . what a revelation her writing is (Gillian Flynn Wall Street Journal)
Highsmith is the poet of apprehension rather than fear . . . Highsmith's finest novel to my mind is The Tremor of Forgery, and if I were asked what it is about I would reply, "apprehension"' (Graham Greene)
One of her best books ... She creates a lot of dread and a lot of apprehension very casually (Jonathan Lethem Chicago Tribune)
One of Highsmith's finest novels (New York Times)
From the Publisher
Classic Patricia Highsmith novel - claimed to be one of her very best.
