Venedig kann sehr kalt sein Roman
Im winterlich grauen und verregneten Venedig wird der amerikanische Kunsthändler Ray, dessen junge Frau sich die Pulsadern aufgeschnitten hat, von seinem Schwiegervater Coleman mit mehreren Mordanschlägen verfolgt. Vergebens versucht Ray zu erklären, dass die von Coleman eifersüchtig und abgöttisch geliebte, übersensible Peggy an der Wirklichkeit des Lebens hoffnungslos scheitern musste. Es beginnt eine seltsame Hetzjagd, ein Versteckspielen, bei dem der Verfolgte bei einfachen Fischern Schutz findet und ihr Milieu und ihre Mentalität kennen und achten lernt.

Patricia Highsmith (January 19, 1921 – February 4, 1995) was an American novelist and short story writer widely known for her psychological thrillers, including her series of five novels featuring the character Tom Ripley. She wrote 22 novels and numerous short stories throughout her career spanning nearly five decades, and her work has led to more than two dozen film adaptations. Her writing derived influence from existentialist literature, and questioned notions of identity and popular morality. She was dubbed "the poet of apprehension" by novelist Graham Greene. Her first novel, *Strangers on a Train*, has been adapted for stage and screen, the best known being the Alfred Hitchcock film released in 1951. Her 1955 novel *The Talented Mr. Ripley* has been adapted for film. Writing under the pseudonym **Claire Morgan**, Highsmith published the first lesbian novel with a happy ending, *The Price of Salt*, in 1952, republished 38 years later as Carol under her own name and later adapted into a 2015 film. **Source**: [Patricia Highsmith](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patricia_Highsmith) on Wikipedia
