Publisher Synopsis
A novel so extraordinary that it reminded me of reading Stieg Larsson for the very first time. Bussi's novel brings with it the same thrill of discovering a truly original voice.It is one of the most remarkable books I've read in a long time; Bussi breaks every rule in the book, but I doubt I'll read a more brilliant crime novel this year. -- Joan Smith * Sunday Times * There's a great premise to this thriller, which is already a huge bestseller in the author's native France...

[The] provocative premise - and its aftermath in the present set in motion a truly compelling tale by the talented Michel Bussi, a writer who well knows exactly how to keep the reader turning page after page even when it's past time to turn out that bedside lamp. * Barry Forshaw * 'A compulsive page turner.' * Maxim Jakubowski, LoveReading.co.uk * Riveting!
