«Extraños en un tren» is the psychological suspense novel by Patricia Highsmith, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (280 pages, in Spanish).
Two strangers meet on a train. Bruno, a misfit who hates his father, proposes to Guy, an ambitious man who wants to get rid of his wife, a pact: each will eliminate the person who stands in their way. With no link between killers, there would be no motive or possible alibi. Guy dismisses it, but Bruno fulfills his part and demands that Guy reciprocate.
The original title is «Strangers on a Train» (1950) and the Spanish translation is by Jordi Beltrán.
Recommended for readers of psychological thrillers and classic crime fiction, especially those interested in moral dilemmas and suspense.
