A brilliant new translation of one of Simenon's best loved
masterpieces. 'A certain furtive, almost shameful emotion ...
disturbed him whenever he saw a train go by, a night train
especially, its blinds drawn down on the mystery of its passengers'
Kees Popinga is a respectable Dutch citizen and family man. Then he
discovers that his boss has bankrupted the shipping firm he works
for - and something snaps. Kees used to watch the trains go by to
exciting destinations. Now, on some dark impulse, he boards one at
random, and begins a new life of recklessness and violence. This
chilling portrayal of a man who breaks from society and goes on the
run asks who we are, and what we are capable of. 'Classic Simenon
... extraordinary in its evocative power' Independent 'What emerges
is the bare human animal' John Gray 'Read him at your peril, avoid
him at your loss' Sunday Times
