Description
For Commandant Verhœven life is beautiful: he is happily married, expecting his first child with the lovely Irène.
But his blissful existence is punctured by a murder of unprecedented savagery. Worse still, the press seem to have it in for him – his every move is headline news. When he discovers that the killer has killed before – that each murder is a homage to a classic crime novel – the fourth estate are quick to coin a nickname . . . The Novelist . . .
With both men in the public eye, the case develops into a personal duel, each hell-bent on outsmarting the other. There can only be one winner – whoever has the least to lose . . .
Advance Praise
"Harsh, fierce crime writing with a Gauloise tinge. It would not be out of place filmed in black-and-white by the late, lamented François Truffaut" Geoffrey Wansell, Daily Mail
“Grippingly original . . . It enthrals at every stage of its unpredictability” Marcel Berlins, The Times
“The book moves from read-as-fast-as-you-can horror to an intricately plotted race to a dark truth” Alison Flood, Observer
