Patricia Highsmith

Ripley's Game

Band 3

Published by Diogenes as Ripley's Game

Original Title: Ripley's Game

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 posh gala. While an ordinary psychopath might repay the insult with some mild act of retribution, what Ripley has in mind is far more subtle, and infinitely more sinister. A social slight doesn't warrant murder of course - just a chain of events that may lead to it.
