Synopsis

Contemporary / American English
One night, Tom Ripley is insulted by a man at a party. An ordinary person would just be upset by this, but Tom Ripley is not an ordinary person. Months later, when a friend asks him for help with two simple murders, he remembers the night and plans revenge. He starts a game — a very nasty game, in which he plays with the life of a sick and innocent man. But how far will he go?

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

'Highsmith has done it again. It seems to me she has reached a point where because

she knows exactly what she is about she cannot miss' The Times

Tom Ripley detested murder. Unless it was absolutely necessary. Wherever possible, he preferred someone else to do the dirty work. In this case, someone with no criminal record who could commit 'two simple murders' for a very generous fee.
