After six years in prison for a crime he did not commit, Philip Carter is released and finds that his wife is distant and his son barely recognises him. His imprisonment has transformed him; his attempt to reintegrate and growing distrust blur the line between his conscience and his violent instincts.
The novel was originally published as The Glass Cell in 1964; this Italian edition is part of the I grandi tascabili collection.
A read for those who appreciate psychological suspense and crime fiction, as well as for fans of Patricia Highsmith.
