This is a detective book, which was written by Patricia Highsmith. She was born in Texas in America in 1921. She lived in England and France, and finally moved to a village in Switzerland. She never married, and died in February 1995.
The polt of the book is that Guy was going to divorce with his wife whose name is Miriam, she was pregnant and it was not his child. Guy had a girlfriend in Florida named Anne, and he also has an important job there. When he was in the train to see Miriam, he knew a man named Bruno, who was a very rich man, and he hated his father. Bruno wanted to kill his father and got the bequest. When he knew Guy was afraid of that Miriam might not divorce with him and disturb his job, Bruno suggest that he could murder Miriam, and Guy must murder his father for reward. Of course Guy refused this crazy idea, but Bruno didn’t want to give up his plan.
He found Miriam by himself and murdered her when she was alone in the park. Then Bruno told Guy that he had helped him, and threatened Guy to killed his father, otherwise he would told police that Guy made him to murder his wife. Guy had to murdered Bruno’s father, but he felt very guilty.
Arthur, who was Bruno father’s private detective, began to work after the second murder. He made many investigations and thought Guy and Bruno were the murders, but he has not proof. One day Guy’s family went to India with Bruno by boat, Bruno fell into the sea by accident.
The next day, Guy went to see Miriam’s boyfriend Owen. Guy told him all the truth, but Owen was very drunk. When Guy was looking for the phone to call a taxi for Owen, he saw the phone was lying so that some could listen to everything he was saying, and the listener is Arthur.
