Con la ripubblicazione nel 2009 il titolo cambiò, con l'approvazione di Westlake, in The Cutie. La traduzione italiana potrebbe essere Il furbetto (stante la traduzione dallo slang della parola).
Ma chi è il furbetto nel libro? Clay, con le sue risposte da furbetto oppure l'assassino, con i suoi sviamenti?
Clay. "Non mi vengono in mente altre domande. Per caso non vi viene in mente qualche altra risposta?"
