Ian Hart stars in this BBC Radio 4 dramatisation, as Patricia Highsmith’s infamous Ripley.
Tom Ripley detests murder unless it is absolutely necessary. He prefers someone else to do the dirty work. But if he’s called on to act there is no one more cool, calculating and clever. In The Boy Who Followed Ripley, a rich young stalker arrives at Belle Ombre, where he and Tom end up fighting for their lives.
Tense, thrilling and atmospheric, the fourth of five dramatisations that are perfect evocations of Highsmith’s unique, complex and brilliantly twisted crime novels.
