“A cat-and-mouse waiting game, with enough twists and sudden hitches to keep the chills and thrills running.” – The New York Times

A devious husband, his wealthy wife, and her lover. This edge-of-your-seat, classic thriller has been brilliantly adapted by playwright Jeffrey Hatcher, who has created even more surprises and diabolic twists than the celebrated Hitchcock film!
