Patricia Highsmith's novel 'Strangers on a Train', published by Anagrama, presents an intriguing plot based on the idea of a crime without apparent motives. Two strangers, Bruno and Guy, meet on a train. Bruno, an alcoholic with problems, proposes to Guy, an ambitious architect, a macabre pact: to exchange murders to eliminate their respective enemies, thus creating a perfect alibi. Guy rejects the proposal, but Bruno carries out his part of the deal, triggering a series of events that force Guy to face the consequences of this dark alliance.
