«El juego del escondite» is the suspense novel by Patricia Highsmith, published by Planeta DeAgostini in hardcover (222 pages, in Spanish).
Peggy dies in Mallorca, perhaps by suicide, and her father blames Ray, Peggy's husband.

Both become trapped in a duel of flights and traps, with Venice as the setting for a game of hide-and-seek.
