´Extraordinary... one of her finest novels´ Guardian "If everybody in the world didn´t keep watching to see what everybody else did, we´d all go berserk." Jenny believes that sighting an owl is a portent of death. When she spots a stranger looking in through her window one night, she believes that he is an omen too. But fate doesn´t work in the way that either of them expect. This novel of suspense and paranoia draws on Highsmith´s own experience of being a stalker.
