«Strangers on a Train» is the suspense novel by Patricia Highsmith adapted by Michael Nation, published by Pearson Education in paperback (72 pages).
On a train, architect Guy Haines meets Charles Anthony Bruno, a stranger who proposes a pact as simple as it is sinister: that each eliminate the person who makes the other's life miserable.
