Publisher's Synopsis

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.
