'Feels incredibly modern... it is brutal, frank about sex and
violence, and will make your flesh creep' Ian Rankin A brilliant
new translation of Simenon's critically acclaimed masterpiece. 'And
always the dirty snow, the heaps of snow that look rotten, with
black patches and embedded garbage ... unable to cover the filth.'
Nineteen-year-old Frank - thug, thief, son of a brothel owner -
gets by surprisingly well despite living in a city under military
occupation, but a warm house and a full stomach are not enough to
make him feel truly alive in such a climate of deceit and betrayal.
During a bleak, unending winter, he embarks on a string of violent
and sordid crimes that set him on a path from which he can never
return. Georges Simenon's matchless novel is a brutal, compelling
portrayal of a world without pity; a devastating journey through a
psychological no-man's land. 'Among the best novels of the
twentieth century' New Yorker 'An astonishing work' John Banville
'So noir it makes Raymond Chandler look beige' Independent
