Overview
Charm is the perfect disguiseTom Ripley is drifting through life in 1950s New York, a young man with quick wits, no prospects and a talent for imitation. When he’s sent to Italy to persuade a wealthy heir, Dickie Greenleaf, to return home, the trip feels like deliverance: sunlit villas, boats on the bay, and friendship with the kind of people who barely notice men like him. But fascination becomes fixation. As Tom sinks further into Dickie’s world, he begins to see another version of himself reflected there: richer, freer, adored. Ripley soon discovers just how easy it is to erase one life and step into another. ‘The No. 1 Greatest Crime Writer’ The Times ‘Ripley … is a genuinely original creation’ Daily Telegraph
