Burnet returns after the success of "His Bloody Project" and "The Disappearance of Adele Bedeau" for a new psychological thriller. Nothing seems unusual about a fatal car crash on the A35, but for Inspector Georges Gorski one question keeps playing on his mind: where had the victim, an outwardly austere lawyer, been on the night of his death?

• From an internationally bestselling, prize-winning author, an unusual, multi-translated detective novel that has captivated audiences around the world.
• Immersive, page-turning literary fiction that pulls you into its small-town world in mid-twentieth-century France.
• A compelling character study that will be devoured by any reader who has ever felt, like its protagonists, socially awkward.
