Book synopsis

In A Dog's Ransom, one of Patricia Highsmith's most acclaimed and suspenseful novels, a high-minded criminal hits a Manhattan couple where it hurts most when he kidnaps their beloved black miniature poodle, Lisa, from Riverside Park. Ed Reynolds, a forty-two-year-old editor at a prestigious publishing house, returns home one night to find a note: 'Dear Sir: I have your dog Lisa. She is well and happy ...I gather she is important to you? We'll see.' And so the nightmare begins for the Reynolds couple in this harrowing portrait of mid-century urban life shattered by a single bizarre event. Reminiscent of the best social dramas, A Dog's Ransom captures the fragility of middle-class life in this riveting, scathing tale.
