Highsmith, Patricia (1921-1995), was an American writer known for her crime and suspense novels and short stories. Highsmith's novels reflect a psychological depth unusual in crime fiction. Many of her stories deal with the themes of guilt and the conflict between good and evil. Her works often center on a complex relationship between two men. She wrote in a dispassionate style that refused to judge the acts of her villains, sometimes portraying them in an almost sympathetic light. More »
