Der Amerikaner Tom Ripley liebt tadellose Manieren, den richtigen Burgunder zum Hummer und allmorgendlich die schönste Blume aus dem liebevoll gehegten Garten seines Landsitzes südlich von Paris. Niemand käme auf die Idee, im Keller eines solchen Herrn nach Blutspuren zu suchen. Niemand außer Ripleys neuem Nachbarn, der davon träumt, Tom Ripleys...

Contemporary / American English (Available May 2008) Guy Haines is travelling through Texas on a train when a stranger invites him to share a meal. But the stranger has a terrible plan. ‘You murder my father, and I’ll murder your wife,’ he suggests. So begins Guy’s journey into a world of madness, lies and death

Tom Ripley detested murder. Unless it was absolutely necessary. If possible, he preferred someone else to do the dirty work. In this case someone with no criminal record, who would commit 'two simple murders' for a very generous fee. . . .
