The Talented Mr Ripley
The Talented Mr Ripley
Vintage Quarterbound Classics - Bound to be beautiful.
A beautiful, hardback edition of the iconic crime classic, now a major 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.
