A Simenon to discover
A noir with a decidedly American flavour. A “road story” where the reader is swept along with the protagonist, in a crescendo of tension right up to the last page. Superbly masterful definition of the characters in their surprising and yet credible evolution. A novel you read with bated breath, a little masterpiece.
