Beschreibung

Every watcher becomes the watched

When Robert becomes fixated on a woman he glimpses through her window, he imagines he's found peace - until she notices him, and their lives entwine in a spiral of suspicion and death.
Highsmith's The Cry of the Owl is a study in paranoia and fate, told with chilling precision. Desire, guilt and moral decay blur into one another until innocence itself feels like a crime.
'Extraordinary ... one of her finest novels' Guardian
'A superb portrait of obsession and its fallout' Sunday Times

Every watcher becomes the watched
