Ripley wanted it all: money, success, the good life. He was willing to kill to get it all...
Patricia Highsmith's second novel, Mr. Ripley , is the birth certificate of one of the most extraordinary detective novel characters of all time: Tom Ripley, an immoralist as seductive as he is dangerous, cynical and extraordinarily intelligent. Charged by a wealthy American to bring back his son who has gone to Italy, he soon devises a diabolical plan: to replace the prodigal son, and live a gilded life in his place...
