Ripley Under Water - Boek, Literatuur en Romans

The final part of Patricia Highsmith's brilliant Ripley series is presented as a gripping conclusion to the legendary saga. Tom Ripley, now living in luxury at his chateau in Villeperce, France, remains one step ahead of the law, all while a hidden past and a suspicious basement provide a sense of constant menace. In this fifth and final novel, Ripley is haunted by David Pritchard, an American boor whose desire to reveal Ripley’s incriminating history mirrors Ripley’s own dangerous alter-ego. Pritchard shadows him at home and later follows him to Morocco, and tensions rise as Villeperce becomes a focal point again when Pritchard indicates he will uncover a body in a nearby river—one Ripley would rather keep hidden.

This edition, a reissued paperback, brings the intrigue to a new audience, with Patricia Highsmith’s characteristic tension and crisp, methodical storytelling.
