This sleek and modern Netflix tie-in edition marks the return of Highsmith's classic story to our screens, cementing The Talented Mr Ripley's iconic position as a tale that has triggered delight and disgust in readers and viewers alike for decades, and will continue to do so for decades to come.

Now a major new Netflix series

Tom Ripley wants money, success, and the good life – and he's willing to kill for it.

Struggling to stay one step ahead of his creditors, and the law, Ripley leaps at the chance to start afresh on a free trip to Europe. But when his new-found happiness is threatened, his response is as swift as it is shocking.

This is the first in Highsmith's classic series featuring the character of Tom Ripley. The Talented Mr Ripley inspired the Academy Award-winning film starring Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jude Law, and is now a major Netflix series starring Andrew Scott.

'The No.1 Greatest Crime Writer' The Times

'Ripley, amoral, hedonistic and charming, is a genuinely original creation' Daily Telegraph

One of the BBC's 100 Novels That Shaped Our World.
