This sleek and modern Netflix tie-in edition marks the return of Highsmith's classic story to our screens, cementing The Talented Mr 's iconic position as a tale that has triggered delight and disgust in readers and viewers alike for decades, and will continue to do so for decades to come.

Tom wants money, success, and the good life - and he's willing to kill for it. Struggling to stay one step ahead of his creditors, and the law, leaps at the chance to start afresh on a free trip to Europe. But when his new-found happiness is threatened, his response is as swift as it is shocking. This is the first in Highsmith's classic series featuring the character of Tom. The Talented Mr inspired the Academy Award-winning film starring Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jude Law, and is now a major Netflix series starring Andrew Scott.
