Further Information
Patricia Highsmith, born 1921 in America, is a writer
whose work transcends the traditional boundaries of detective, crime,
mystery and suspense novels. She is, of course, best known for her first
book and the subsequent film adaptation by Alfred Hitchcock, which is
rightly regarded as a masterpiece of suspense. Her other key title is
the Talented Mr Ripley, which too has been the base of two film
versions. All of the pre 1975 books were first published in America and
tend to be of greater value. The English 1st editions are regarded as
rarer though. There are a few alternative titles and we have duly noted
them, when applicable. There is another book, written under the name
Claire Morgan and a couple of non-fiction title, but as they are
non-criminous we have omitted them from this bibliography. |
