Aprašymas
“A writer who, more than any other crime novelist, combined a high literary reputation with popular appeal.” —P. D. JamesCaught in a spiral of bitter seclusion and drinking since his wife abandoned him and their newborn child eighteen years ago, Hector Loursat, once a respected lawyer, now holes up, unwashed and drunk on Burgundy, in his once grand but increasingly decrepit mansion. He barely notices the goings-on under his roof or the strange, dangerous secret life his daughter and her friends are leading there.
He is shaken from his complacency by a gunshot one night and walks into the scene of a murder. Overcoming the inertia of his long isolation and inexplicably drawn to his daughter’s group of young friends, he finds new engagement with the world as he seeks to clear the name of the young man accused of the killing.
Simenon, master chronicler of the dark side of the human heart, gives us a detective story that is also a tale of an improbable redemption.
