Described as 'the Graham Greene of France' by The Independent, cult French noir
writer Japrisot brings us a classic tale of lust and revenge set in the French
countryside.Car mechanic Fiorimond is irresistibly drawn to beautiful,
provocative Elle, a recent arrival in his sleepy Provence village. Their
relationship develops quickly, but even as they make plans to marry, Fiorimond
doesn't know what to make of his bride-to-be: is she an enigma or simply
vacuous? In fact the troubled Elle is on a mission to exact revenge on
Fiorimond's family for a crime committed decades earlier, with a plan that will
ultimately destroy all their lives, including hers.Set in the 1970s, and
available in English again for the first time in many years, this is a true
classic of French suspense. It has everything: stylish writing, clever
construction, an unforgettable leading lady, and most importantly leaves the
reader guessing until the very last page.
