En esta trepidante novela de suspense, volvemos a encontrarnos con Tom Ripley, el ambiguo y fascinante protagonista de 'A pleno sol', unos años después. Ripley, ahora con una reputación intachable y casado con una joven y hermosa heredera francesa, lleva una vida apacible en su lujosa finca cerca de París. Allí, se dedica a cuidar el jardín, pintar, estudiar francés y escuchar música. Un día, recibe una llamada de Londres de sus socios de la Buckmaster Gallery, marchantes de Derwatt, un misterioso pintor que se esconde en México mientras sus cuadros alcanzan precios vertiginosos. Sin embargo, un coleccionista americano sospecha que le han vendido un cuadro falsificado de Derwatt, lo que exige la aparición del pintor para disipar las sospechas. Desafortunadamente, Derwatt ha fallecido, y es entonces cuando Tom Ripley entra en acción.
