Living on his posh French estate with his elegant heiress wife, Tom
Ripley, on the cusp of middle age, is no longer the striving comer
of The Talented Mr. Ripley. Having accrued considerable wealth
through a long career of crime forgery, extortion, serial murder
Ripley still finds his appetite unquenched and longs to get back in
the game. In Ripley's Game, first published in 1974, Patricia
Highsmith's classic chameleon relishes the opportunity to
simultaneously repay an insult and help a friend commit a crime and
escape the doldrums of his idyllic retirement. This third novel in
Highsmith's series is one of her most psychologically nuanced
particularly memorable for its dark, absurd humor and was hailed by
critics for its ability to manipulate the tropes of the genre. With
the creation of Ripley, one of literature's most seductive
sociopaths, Highsmith anticipated the likes of Norman Bates and
Hannibal Lecter years before their appearance."
