Strangers on a train

Two men – strangers – meet on a train journey. Both have a problem they could live without, but only one of them has a murderous solution. From this moment, almost against his conscious will, Guy Haines is trapped in a nightmare of shared guilt and an insidious merging of personalities. The psychologists would call it folie à deux…

Strangers on a train was Patricia Highsmith’s first novel, and it was adopted into a classic film by Alfred Hitchcock.
