The book is a paperback edition showing signs of wear consistent with age. The cover has creases and some edge wear, but the binding remains intact. The pages are slightly yellowed, typical for a book from this period, yet all text is legible. There are no inscriptions or library markings, making it a clean copy for collectors or readers.

Review
"[Highsmith's] characters are irrational, and they leap to life in their very lack of reason. . . . Highsmith is the poet of apprehension rather than fear."--Graham Greene
"For some obscure reason, one of our greatest modernist writers, Patricia Highsmith, has been thought of in her own land as a writer of thrillers. She is both. She is certainly one of the most interesting writers of this dismal century."--Gore Vidal
"Miss Highsmith's genius is in presenting fantasy's paradox: successes are not what they seem. . . . Where in the traditional fairy tale the heroine turns the toad into a prince, in Miss Highsmith's fables the prince becomes a toad--success is nearly always fatal. . . . Combining the best features of the suspense genre with the best of existential fiction--a reflection--the stories are fabulous, in all the senses of that word."--Paul Theroux
"Patricia Highsmith's novels are peerlessly disturbing--bad dreams that keep us restless and thrashing for the rest of the night."--Terrence Rafferty, "New Yorker"
"Highsmith, who can change reality to nightmare with one well-turned phrase, is a legendary crime writer."--"Cleveland Plain Dealer"
