Now part of American film and literary lore, Tom Ripley, "a
bisexual psychopath and art forger who murders without remorse when
his comforts are threatened" (New York Times Book Review), was
Patricia Highsmith's favorite creation. In these volumes, we find
Ripley ensconced on a French estate with a wealthy wife, a
world-class art collection, and a past to hide. In Ripley Under
Ground (1970), an art forgery goes awry and Ripley is threatened
with exposure; in The Boy Who Followed Ripley (1980), Highsmith
explores Ripley's bizarrely paternal relationship with a troubled
young runaway, whose abduction draws them into Berlin's seamy
underworld; and in Ripley Under Water (1991), Ripley is confronted
by a snooping American couple obsessed with the disappearance of an
art collector who visited Ripley years before. More than any other
American literary character, Ripley provides "a lens to peer into
the sinister machinations of human behavior" (John Freeman,
Pittsburgh Gazette).
