Suave  agreeable  and completely amoral  Patricia Highsmiths hero  the inimitable Tom Ripley  stops at nothing  not even murder  to accomplish his goals. In achieving the opulent life that he was denied as a child  Ripley shows himself to be a master of illusion and manipulation and a disturbingly sympathetic combination of genius and psychopath. Sent on a mission to Italy to coax an irresponsible young playboy back to his wealthy father in America  Ripley finds himself so fond of the young man that he sets out to be like him  exactly like him. The precarious charade that ensues is the first step to a life of elegance and ease  and perpetual danger. As she leads us through the mesmerizing tangle of Ripleys deadly and sinister games  Highsmith turns the mystery genre inside out and takes us into the mind of a man utterly indifferent to evil.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45666407776309,"sku":"ByrdShop_185715262X","price":57.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781857152623.jpg?v=1782431018","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/talented-mr-ripley-everymans-library-classics-9781857152623","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
