This Sweet Sickness: Patricia Highsmith

David Kelsey has an invincible conviction that life is going to work out just as he has planned it - if he can just fix `the situation`. His one true love, the brilliant, beautiful Annabelle, has married another man. But that doesn`t mean they can`t still be friends. And even though she is pregnant with her husband Gerald`s baby, that surely doesn`t mean she won`t one day get back together with David. She still loves him, of that he is certain. David is sure she`ll take him back, and, under an alias, is setting up a wonderful home for the two of them in a town close by. And everything is just about going to plan until things take a murderous turn, leaving David a desperate man on the run.
