Ripley's Game

En savoir plus sur le livre

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.
