Deze serie volgt het leven van een charismatische maar psychopathische oplichter die zijn leven opbouwt op leugens en identiteitsdiefstal. We zijn getuige van zijn gevaarlijke spel met het lot en zijn pogingen om aan de gerechtigheid te ontsnappen terwijl hij zich beweegt in de wereld van de rijken en gewetenlozen. De spanning neemt toe bij elke stap die hij zet, waardoor hij dieper in een morele afgrond wordt gedreven. Het is een boeiende verkenning van duistere psychologie en een spiegel van maatschappelijke illusies.

"One night, Tom Ripley is insulted by a man at a party. An ordinary person would just be upset by this, but Tom Ripley is not an ordinary person. Months later, when a friend asks him for help with two simple murders, he remembers the night and plans revenge. He starts a game-- a very nasty game, in which he plays with the life of a sick and innocent man. But how far will he go?"--Back cover
When a troubled young runaway arrives on Tom Ripley's French estate, he is drawn into a world he thought he'd left behind, the seedy underworld of Berlin and kidnapping plots, lies and deception. Ripley becomes the boy's protector as a friendship develops between the young man with a guilty conscience and the older one with no conscience at all.
Remember Dickie Greenleaf? Tom Ripley killed him. The only thing is he keeps ringing Tom up. Enough to make even a cool cucumber like Ripley uneasy. This book immerses the reader in Tom's world at Belle Ombre with the lovely Heloise and the very shadowy world of art forgery and murder.
"Suave, agreeable, and completely amoral ... Tom Ripley stops at nothing--not even murder--to accomplish his goals."--Jacket
