An irresistible gift edition of the classic French noir novel that inspired Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo
In World War II-era Paris, a troubled-ex policeman is entangled in a web of deceit and lies when he investigates a woman’s strange behavior
Flavières doesn’t really want to investigate his old’s friend’s wife, but he doesn’t feel he has much of a choice. Madeleine has been behaving strangely, and her husband wants answers — answers that she isn’t willing to give him.
