Ripley's Game

Mehr zum Buch

Connoisseur of art, harpsichord aficionado, gardener extraordinaire, and genius of improvisational murder, the inimitable Tom Ripley finds his complacency shaken when he is scorned at a party. The perpetrator: Jonathan Trevanny, a picture framer from a neighboring village. Now, while an ordinary psychopath might repay the insult with some mild act of retribution, the game Ripley has in mind is far subtler, and infinitely more sinister. A social slight doesn't warrant murder of course, just a chain of events that may lead to it.
