In this harrowing illumination of the psychotic mind the enviable Tom Ripley has a lovely house in the French countryside a beautiful and very rich wife and an art collection worthy of a connoisseur. But such a gracious life has not come easily. One inopportune inquiry one inconvenient friend and Ripleys world will come tumbling down--unless he takes decisive steps. In a mesmerizing novel that coolly subverts all traditional notions of literary justice Ripley enthralls us even as we watch him perform acts of pure and unspeakable evil.
