The Glass Cell

Buy The Glass Cell

At last back in print, one of Patricia Highsmith's most disturbing works.Rife with overtones of Dostoyevsky,The Glass Cell, first published forty years ago, combines a quintessential Highsmith mystery with a penetrating critique of the psychological devastation wrought by the prison system. Falsely convicted of fraud, the easygoing but naïve Philip Carter is sentenced to six lonely, drug-ravaged years in prison. Upon his release, Carter is a more suspicious and violent man. For those around him, earning back his trust can mean the difference between life and death.The Glass Cell's bleak and compelling portrait of daily prison life—and the consequences for those who live it—is, sadly, as relevant today as it was when the book was first published in 1964.

Never Look Back Never Look Back » Never Look Back

This police thriller/romantic suspense novel is a sequel to DON'T LOOK NOW. Clare Westbrook's love life could use some improvement--she's currently estranged from boyfriend Tony Sonterra, an ambitious Scottsdale homicide detective. Theoretically, her professional life should be just fine; she's used the $20 million inheritance from her father to open up her own law practice in Phoenix, allowing her to defend those who fit her quixotic definition of innocent. But not long after a mentally ill man warns her to beware of dolls, a spray of bullets shatters her office windows, the mentally ill man is murdered...and she discovers a bunch of broken dolls. Unfortunately, Clare's best chance for staying alive is to stick close to Tony--who may, in fact, be the mysterious killer's true target.
