Overview
1995, the Swiss Alps. Patricia Highsmith, the queen of the thriller, now
ageing and ailing, hides away in her study, surrounded by her
collection of books and antique weaponry, finding solace in her
seclusion, her cats and her cigarettes.
A polished young man
turns up, sent by her New York publisher to persuade her to write one
final instalment of her best-selling series featuring the master
manipulator, Tom Ripley.
But as day breaks over the mountains, it
becomes clear that the charming stranger is set on a far more sinister
mission.
