Alle kennen den Film, aber keiner das Buch. Und es ist einfach großartig. Die junge Mary Crane soll für ihren Chef 40.000 Dollar zur Bank bringen. Sie beschließt, stattdessen bei ihrem Verlobten in einem anderen Bundesstaat ein neues Leben anzufangen. Auf dem Weg dorthin verfährt sie sich aber. Es wird schon dunkel, und an der Rezeption des abgelegenen Motels begrüßt sie ein schüchterner Mann mittleren Alters. Sein Name ist Norman Bates.«Psycho» erschien erstmals 1959 und wurde knapp ein Jahr später von Alfred Hitchcock meisterhaft verfilmt. Der Roman wurde mit dem Edgar Allan Poe Special Award ausgezeichnet und sein Autor über Nacht weltberühmt. Die vorliegende Neuübersetzung stellt unter Beweis, dass dieser Höhepunkt der Spannungsliteratur auch im 21. Jahrhundert noch unübertroffen ist.
