<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Tom Ripley leads a life of luxury at his chateau in Villeperce. He passes his days gardening, practicing the piano, and enjoying the company of his lovely wife. Never mind the blood-stains in the basement. But now he has new neighbors: a vulgar and curious American couple who, Ripley fears, may discover his secrets.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>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 (<em>New York Times Book Review</em>), 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 <em>Ripley Under Ground</em> (1970), an art forgery goes awry and Ripley is threatened with exposure; in <em>The Boy Who Followed Ripley</em> (1980), Highsmith explores Ripley's bizarrely paternal relationship with a troubled young runaway, whose abduction draws them into Berlin's seamy underworld; and in <em>Ripley Under Water</em> (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, <em>Pittsburgh Gazette</em>).
