A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

Book by Durrenmatt Friedrich

Revue de presse

'To add to the excellence of the novel's narrative, the reader also gets D�rrenmatt's provocative thinking on the flaws of crime fiction and police behaviour' -- Times

'Literary in style, haunting in mood' -- Guardian

'A chilling study of obsession that defies all reason' -- Daily Mail

'An absolute corker... One of the most ingenious and surprising detective novels you'll read' -- Mr Hyde

'As terse and assured in construction as the best of Simenon' -- Spectator

'Hats off to Pushkin Press for re-publishing this gem, and for planning to delight us with more of D�rrenmatt's tense, melancholy and incredibly seductive writing' -- Thriller Books Journal

'Unusual and arresting... D�rrenmatt is an accomplished and dramatic storyteller, and he has tucked into his short narrative some tantalizing moral questions' -- Atlantic Monthly

'Spellbinding' --Washington Post

'This spare yet potent book which conjures the most striking magic, entrancing with its chills, shocks, artful delights, and even surprise lyrical wonders' --The National

'D�rrenmatt's most famous novel... jaw-dropping' -- Crime Review

'Short, gripping and a compelling read' -- Col's Criminal Library

'There are precious few groundbreaking crime novels but this is one. And one of the very best' --Hits the Fan (blog)
