false 257130 15 With the savage humor of Evelyn Waugh and the macabre sensibility of Edgar Allan Poe, Patricia Highsmith brought a distinct twentieth-century acuteness to her prolific body of fiction. In her more than twenty novels, psychopaths lie in wait amid the milieu of the mundane, in the neighbor clipping the hedges or the spouse asleep next to you at night. <P>Now, Norton continues the revival of this noir genius with another of her lost masterpieces: a later work from 1983, <I>People Who Knock on the Door</I>, is a tale about blind faith and the slippery notion of justice that lies beneath the peculiarly American veneer of righteousness. This novel, out of print for years, again attests to Highsmith's reputation as "the poet of apprehension" (Graham Greene). 558914 1983 People Who Knock on the Door total:61|5:8|4:26|3:22|2:4|1:1| 61 219 79 4 3 0 false false Tue Apr 14 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 14 09:26:11 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 14 09:31:22 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 1989 Sat Oct 24 07:09:25 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 24 07:10:53 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Jan 09 09:41:52 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 09 09:43:36 -0800 2008 Great unsentimental hero of this tale is a slightly elderly wine drinking neighbor lady. ...more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Feb 12 05:15:34 -0800 2008 Sat Feb 16 11:25:46 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Fri Oct 16 08:46:32 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 16 08:46:32 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Oct 14 11:11:10 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 12 04:40:42 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 14 11:11:10 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Sep 27 12:04:04 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 27 12:04:04 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Sep 26 13:13:49 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 26 13:13:49 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Sep 24 23:40:03 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 24 23:40:03 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Sep 18 20:14:05 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 18 20:14:05 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Sep 11 16:52:57 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 11 16:52:57 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Sun Aug 30 10:42:52 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 30 10:42:52 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Aug 23 11:22:35 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 23 11:22:35 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Aug 20 07:44:24 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 20 07:44:24 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Aug 13 14:33:59 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 13 14:33:59 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Aug 05 14:04:20 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 05 14:04:20 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Jul 07 14:20:37 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 07 14:20:37 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Jun 25 16:25:09 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 25 16:25:25 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sat Jun 27 07:33:18 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 19 01:05:02 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 27 07:33:18 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Jun 16 20:08:08 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 14 19:26:09 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 16 20:08:08 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=257130
