«El juego del escondite» is the suspense novel by Patricia Highsmith, published by Planeta DeAgostini in hardback (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.
It belongs to the Biblioteca Patricia Highsmith collection, with a translation by Jordi Beltrán. The original novel, «Those Who Walk Away», was published in 1967.
