Didier Daeninckx's chilling novel created uproar when it was first
published in France in 1984. It is set against the backdrop of a
demonstration in Paris in 1961, which resulted in the deaths of
hundreds of Algerians at the hands of the police. In Daeninckx's
story, Roger Thiraud, a young history teacher, is also mysteriously
killed during this demonstration. Twenty years later, Bernard, his
son, is murdered in Toulouse while on holiday with his girlfriend.
To find the connection between the murders, Daeninckx's hero
Inspector Cadin must delve into the secret history and devastating
compromises of wartime politics. Murder in Memoriam is a tense and
unsettling indictment of France's hidden past.
