BY THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE TALENTED MR RIPLEY, CAROL AND STRANGERS ON A TRAIN

''Highsmith writes about men like a spider writing about flies'' OBSERVER

''For eliciting the menace that lurks in familiar surroundings, there''s no one like Patricia Highsmith'' TIME

''The Glass Cell has lost little of its disturbing power . . . Highsmith was a genuine one-off'' DAILY TELEGRAPH


Based on a true story, The Glass Cell is Highsmith''s deeply disturbing fictionalisation of everything she learned. Falsely convicted of fraud, the easy-going but naive Philip Carter is sent to prison. Despite his devotion to Hazel, his wife, and the support of David Sullivan, a lawyer and friend who tries to avenge the injustice done to him, Carter endures six lonely and drug-ravaged years. Upon his release, Carter is a much more discerning, suspicious, and violent man. His beautiful wife is waiting for him. He has never had any reason to doubt her. For those around him, earning back his trust can mean the difference between life and death.
