Ira Levin is the author of The Boys from Brazil, Rosemary's Baby, Son of Rosemary, The Stepford Wives, This Perfect Day, Sliver, and A Kiss Before Dying (for which he won the Edgar Award). Levin was also the recipient of three Mystery Writers of America Edgar Allan Poe Awards. His website is iralevin.org.
Here is not merely an extraordinary first but an extraordinary
suspense novel by the highest professional standards; and you have
an evening of incomparable excitement ahead of you. Levin combines
great talent for pure novel writing with strict whodunit tricks as
dazzling as anything ever brought off by Ellery Queen or Agatha
Christie.--Anthony Boucher
The book is a succession of quite legitimate surprises, the
suspense is admirably sustained, the detail is thorough and
convincing, and the writing is considerably above the level usually
associated with fictional crime and passion. A pleasure to
recommend.
