DEATHTRAP by Ira Levin: Sidney Bruhl, a successful writer of Broadway thrillers, finds himself in a “dry” spell with a string of failures and a shortage of funds.

When he receives a script from a young student that attended his seminar, he immediately recognizes it as a Broadway hit. With the help of his wife, Sidney devises a plan to claim the play as his own. Suspense mounts steadily as the plot begins to twist and turn.
