HIGHSMITH, Patricia - Ripley Under Ground - [Ripley #1] - (1st Edition Hardcover in Wrapper) *

This very scarce 1970 book belonged to a library before - Book in a fairly poor condition with usual library goodies but still very readable - Unclipped wrapper still good.   >>>   Now part of American film and literary lore, Tom Ripley, "a bisexual psychopath and art forger who murders without remorse when his comforts are threatened" (New York Times Book Review), was Patricia Highsmith's favorite creation. In these volumes, we find Ripley ensconced on a French estate with a wealthy wife, a world-class art collection, and a past to hide.  In Ripley Under Ground (1970), an art forgery goes awry and Ripley is threatened with exposure.
