«Ripley's Game» is the crime novel by Patricia Highsmith, published by Penguin Books in paperback (256 pages, in English).
Tom Ripley detests murder except when he deems it indispensable and, whenever possible, prefers someone else to do the dirty work. In this novel he persuades a man with no criminal record to carry out two very well-paid assignments, and the criminal game ensnares someone who seemed alien to that world.
Third installment in the Tom Ripley series. The work was nominated for the CWA Silver Dagger award; this edition belongs to the Penguin Crime Fiction collection.
For readers of crime fiction and psychological suspense who appreciate complex antiheroes.
Patricia Highsmith was an American novelist and short story writer widely known for her psychological thrillers, including her series of five novels featuring the character Tom Ripley. She wrote 22 novels and numerous short stories in a career spanning nearly five decades, and her work has led to more than two dozen film adaptations. Her writing was influenced by existentialist literature and questioned notions of identity and popular morality. She was dubbed "the poet of apprehension" by novelist Graham Greene.
