Ripley under ground Roman
Der einzige Mensch, den er geliebt hat und der seinen Aufstieg hätte verhindern können, liegt bei San Remo auf dem Meeresgrund: Tom Ripley hat sich zum souveränen Verbrecher gemausert, der seinen Untaten das Flair französischer Lebensart zu verleihen weiß. Mit seiner Frau Héloise lebt er ein sorgenfreies Luxusleben bei Paris und handelt nebenbei mit berühmten Gemälden - nicht nur aus Liebhaberei. Als ein Kunstsammler die Gemälde als Fälschungen entlarvt, beginnt Ripley ein vampirisches Spiel mit anderen Existenzen, um seine schöne Welt - und seinen Kopf - zu retten.

Patricia Highsmith (January 19, 1921 – February 4, 1995) 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 throughout her career spanning nearly five decades, and her work has led to more than two dozen film adaptations. Her writing derived influence from existentialist literature, and questioned notions of identity and popular morality. She was dubbed "the poet of apprehension" by novelist Graham Greene. Her first novel, *Strangers on a Train*, has been adapted for stage and screen, the best known being the Alfred Hitchcock film released in 1951. Her 1955 novel *The Talented Mr. Ripley* has been adapted for film. Writing under the pseudonym **Claire Morgan**, Highsmith published the first lesbian novel with a happy ending, *The Price of Salt*, in 1952, republished 38 years later as Carol under her own name and later adapted into a 2015 film. **Source**: [Patricia Highsmith](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patricia_Highsmith) on Wikipedia
