Brief Description:
From the Booker-nominated author of Case Study and His Bloody Project comes
the next adventure of Inspector Gorski. In the unremarkable French town of
Saint-Louis, a mysterious stranger stalks the streets; an elderly woman
believes her son is planning to kill her; a prominent businessman drops
dead. Between visits to the town’s drinking establishments, Chief Inspector
Georges Gorski ponders what connections, if any, exist between these
events, all while grappling with his own domestic and existential demons.
With his signature virtuosity, in which literary sleight-of-hand meets
piercing insight into human nature, Graeme Macrae Burnet punctures the
respectable bourgeois façade of small-town life and unspools a spellbinding
riddle that blurs the boundaries between suspect, investigator, writer, and
reader.
