The Talented Mr. Ripley by Highsmith, Patricia Format: Trade PaperbackPublished by Vintage, 1992 In a chilling literary hall of mirrors, Patricia Highsmith introduces Tom Ripley. L ike a hero in a latter-day Henry James novel, is sent to Italy with a commission to coax a prodigal young American back to his wealthy father. But Ripley finds himself very fond of Dickie Greenleaf. He wants to be like him--exactly like him. Suave, agreeable, and utterly amoral, Ripley stops at nothing--certainly not only one murder--to accomplish his goal. Turning the mystery form inside out, Highsmith shows the terrifying abilities afforded to a man unhindered by the concept of evil. Show more
