Patricia Highsmith, geboren 1921 in Fort Worth/Texas, wuchs in Texas und New York auf und studierte Literatur und Zoologie. Erste Kurzgeschichten schrieb sie an der Highschool, den ersten Lebensunterhalt verdiente sie als Comictexterin, und den ersten Welterfolg erlangte sie 1950 mit ihrem Romanerstling ›Zwei Fremde im Zug‹, dessen Verfilmung von Alfred Hitchcock sie über Nacht weltberühmt machte. Patricia Highsmith starb 1995 in Locarno.
