Synopsis
When Ray Garrett's new wife kills herself on their honeymoon, he persuades the initially suspicious Rome police that he's innocent of any wrongdoing over the death. However, his father-in-law, the brutish Ed Coleman, is convinced Ray led to her death and shoots Ray, leaving him for dead. He survives and, desperate to prove himself, follows Coleman to Venice, the husband and father bound together by love and guilt, with Coleman still seeking justice and Garrett a clear conscience.
Reviews
It has been called Highsmith's "masterpiece".[1]
gollark: And you cannot, in fact, do the same thing as everyone else if you have some thing stopping you doing the same thing as everyone else, that's... definitionally the case.
gollark: ... well, you can't remove any problem.
gollark: You can't do something useful about *any* problem.
gollark: I see.
gollark: "Responsive" in what sense?
