Ripley under ground, paperback/patricia highsmith

Ripley had kept his name and reputation clean, amazingly clean, considering.

It would be most embarrassing for him if his interest in the Buckmaster Gallery were made public.

The gallery is staging another Derwatt exhibition.

But now an American collector claims that the expensive masterpiece he bought three years ago is a fake, it is of course.

And he wants to talk to Derwatt.

But he inconveniently is dead.

Ripley needs the perfect solution.

But not everyones nerves are as steady as his.

Especially if it comes to murder.
