Deep Water

A classic novel by «the most lethal existentialist in detective prose» (Boston Globe), author of the film-adapted «Strangers on a Train» directed by Hitchcock and the repeatedly adapted series of books about Tom Ripley. Victor Van Allen is thirty-six years... old. He lives in the town of Little Wesley, Massachusetts, and his wife Melinda is cheating on him. For a while, Vic tolerates her infidelities, but one day he decides to fight back — and, for romantic mystery, invents a story about murder. And from imaginary murder to actual murder in Highsmith's work, there's only one step… The novel has a French film version (1981) — directed by Michel Deville, starring Jean-Louis Trintignant and Isabelle Huppert, — and in 2022, a new adaptation was released worldwide: directed by Adrian Lyne («9? Weeks», «Fatal Attraction», «Jacob's Ladder», «Indecent Proposal», «Lolita», «Unfaithful»), starring Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas. «Whether you love mysteries or not, „Deep Water“ is a must-read» (Sunday Times).
