Description
From an Edgar awardâ"winning British crime novelist, an Inspector Castang thriller that âhas it all -- politics, sex, metaphysicsâ (The New York Times).It's a quiet night at the Police Judiciare in Detective Castang's provincial corner of France when a prominent politician stumbles in, claiming he was in a car accident he can barely recall, with a passenger who is his mistress -- and is very likely dead. But when the unorthodox inspector's astute investigation leads him straight into the heart of a political conspiracy, the stakes are suddenly higher for Castang -- and for the fate of the French Republic.
âExhilaratingly rich in wit and humanity. Indignant at the right things.â --
