«A merced del viento» is a collection of twelve suspense stories by Patricia Highsmith, published by Planeta in paperback (186 pages, in Spanish).
Twelve dark stories in which Highsmith explores the dark side of ordinary people: the man who can only write the books he carries in his imagination, the mother who boasts of having killed someone, a corpse disguised as a scarecrow, or a triple murder reenacted in a wax museum. Concise and unsettling tales, with a psychological tone that maintains tension to the end.
This copy belongs to volume 32 of Planeta's Bestsellers Serie Negra collection, with a translation by Helena Valentí of the original 'Slowly, Slowly in the Wind' (1979).
Recommended for readers of psychological suspense, mystery stories, and crime fiction.
