Patricia Highsmith
A Game for the Living

Published by Diogenes as Ein Spiel für die Lebenden

Friendship, jealousy and grief comprise the themes of this early Highsmith novel, in which two men, both in love with the same woman, suspect each other of murder when Lelia is found mutilated and covered in blood in her house in Mexico. Neither of the two very dissimilar men will confess to the crime, nor does either wish that the other was behind the murder: Theodore, a wealthy German artist, calm and reserved; Ramón, a poor Mexican waiter, vivacious and quick-tempered.

Quotes

»Highsmith in fine form, and if there are terrors in store for readers of ›A Game for the Living‹, there are also the rich pleasures of getting to know two men whose affection for each other runs deep enough to survive the possibility that one is a killer.«The Cleveland Plain Dealer
