- Summary:
- Mr. Ripley emerges from retirement to preside over one last deadly game, but can he persuade an innocent man to commit murder?
- "" Living on his posh French estate with his elegant heiress wife, Tom Ripley, on the cusp of middle age, is no longer the striving comer of The Talented Mr. Ripley. Having accrued considerable wealth through a long career of crime--forgery, extortion, serial murder--Ripley still finds his appetite unsated and longs to get back in the game. In Ripley's Game, first published in 1974, Patricia Highsmith's classic chameleon relishes the opportunity to escape the doldrums of his idyllic retirement, simultaneously repaying an insult and helping a friend commit a crime. This third novel in Highsmith's series is one of her most psychologically nuanced--particularly memorable for its dark, absurd humor--and was hailed by critics for its ability to manipulate the tropes of the genre"-- Provided by publisher.
