Howard Ingham finds it strange that no one has written to him since he arrived in Tunisia - neither the film director that he is supposed to be meeting in Tunis, nor his lover in New York who is, he hopes, missing him. While he waits around at a beach resort, unable to get going on the film script he is there to write, he starts work on a new novel, about a man living an amoral double life. Howard also befriends a fellow American who has a taste for Scotch and a suspicious interest in the Soviet Union, and a Dane who appears to distrust Arabs intensely. When bad news finally arrives from home, Howard thinks he may as well stay and continue writing, despite the tremors in the air of violence, tensions and ambiguous morals.

The Tremor of Forgery (Highsmith, Patricia) (SOFTCOVER CONDITION GOOD-PUBLISHED BY THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY PRESS-COPYRIGHT 1988) 249 PAGES by Patricia Highsmith (Author) Under the hot desert sun nothing is quite as it seems. Howard Ingham, an American writ. The Tremor of Forgery (Highsmith, Patricia) (SOFTCOVER CONDITION GOOD-PUBLISHED BY THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY PRESS-COPYRIGHT 1988) 249 PAGES by Patricia Highsmith (Author) Under the hot desert sun nothing is quite as it seems. Howard Ingham, an American writer, is sent to Tunisia to gather material for a movie, a love story too sordid to be set in America. But his director fails to arrive as scheduled and the erratic mails bring news of infidelities and suicide. Ingham for reasons obscure even to himself decides to stay on and work instead on a novel. Gradually, however, a series of peculiar events a hushed-up murder, a vanished corpse, and secret broadcasts to the Soviet Union lures him inexorably into the deep, ambivalent shadows of this Arab town; into deceit and away from conventional morality. And when Ingham finds an accomplice to murder, or perhaps something more, what is in question is not justice or truth, but the state of his oddly quiet conscience.
