[A] classic psychological thriller.”USA Today Originally
published in 1964, and the winner of the CWA Best Foreign Novel Award,
Patricia Highsmith’s The Two Faces of January is a chilling tale of
suspense, suffused with her trademark slow, creeping unease. In a
grubby Athens hotel, Rydal Keener is bored and killing time with petty
scams. But when he runs into another American, Chester MacFarland,
dragging a man’s body down the hotel hall, Rydan impulsively agrees
to help, perhaps because Chester looks like his father. Then Rydal
meets Collete, Chester’s younger wife, and captivated, becomes
entangled in their sordid lives, as the drama marches to a shocking
climax at the ruins of the labyrinth at Knossos. A film version of The
Two Faces of January, starring Viggo Mortensen, Kirsten Dunst, and
Oscar Isaac (Drive, Inside Llewelyn Davis) is in production. Adapted
by Academy Award nominee Hossein Amini (Drive), and produced by
Working Title and Timnick Films (The Talented Mr. Ripley), it will be
released later this fall. An offbeat, provocative and absorbing
suspense novel.”The New York Times Patricia Highsmith is one of
the few suspense writers whose work transcends genre.”The Austin
