Discover the fourth novel in the iconic, propulsive RIPLEY series - now a major Netflix series starring Andrew Scott***'The Ripley books are marvellously, insanely readable' THE TIMES 'It's hard to imagine anyone interested in modern fiction who has not read the Ripley novels' DAILY TELEGRAPH 'Peerlessly Disturbing' NEW YORKER When a troubled young runaway arrives on Tom Ripley's French estate, he is drawn into a world he thought he'd left behind: the seedy underworld of Berlin, involving kidnapping plots, lies and deception.
Ripley becomes the boy's protector as friendship develops between the young man with a guilty conscience and the older one with no conscience at all. Highsmith shatters our perceptions of her most famous creation by letting us glimpse a more compassionate side of this amoral charmer. The Boy Who Followed Ripley is followed by Ripley Under Water.

Biographie de Patricia Highsmith

Patricia Highsmith (1921-1995) was born in Fort Worth, Texas, and moved to New York when she was six. In her senior year, she edited the college magazine, having decided at the age of sixteen to become a writer. Her first novel, Strangers on a Train (1950), was made into a classic film by Alfred Hitchcock in 1951. The Talented Mr Ripley (1955), introduced the fascinating anti-hero Tom Ripley, and was made into an Oscar-winning film in 1999 by Anthony Minghella.
Highsmith died in Locarno, Switzerland, in February 1995. Her last novel, Small g: A Summer Idyll, was published posthumously, the same year.
