Synopsis "La máscara de Ripley (in Spanish)"

En su lujosa finca cerca de Paris, Ripley lleva una existencia apacible, cuidando el jardin, pintando, estudiando frances y escuchando musica. Un dia le telefonean de Londres sus socios de la Buckmaster Gallery, marchantes de Derwatt, un misterioso pintor que se oculta en un ignorado rincon de Mexico, mientras el precio de sus cuadros sube vertiginosamente. Sin embargo, un coleccionista americano sospecha que le han vendido un cuadro de Derwatt falsificado, por lo que urge la aparicion del pintor para disipar sospechas... pero por desgracia Derwatt ha muerto. Y ahi entra en accion Tom Ripley. / Now part of American 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.

She moved to Europe in 1963 and spent her last years in a secluded house near Locarno, on the border between Switzerland and Italy. Upon her death, she left three million dollars from her estate to Yaddo, the artists' community in upstate New York.
