'You'll get used to things, you'll see. But you have to watch very
carefully what you say and what you do.' Adil Bey is an outsider.
Newly arrived as Turkish consul at a run-down Soviet port on the
Black Sea, he receives only suspicion and hostility from the
locals. His one intimacy is a growing, wary relationship with his
Russian secretary Sonia, who he watches silently in her room
opposite his apartment. But this is Stalin's world before the war,
and nothing is as it seems. Georges Simenon's most starkly
political work, The People Opposite is a tour de force of slow-burn
tension. 'Irresistible... read him at your peril, avoid him at your
loss' Sunday Times
