Jean Daragane, writer and recluse, has purposely built a life of
seclusion away from the Parisian bustle. He doesn't see many
people, he rarely goes out: he spends his life in a solitary world
of his own making. His peace is shattered however, one hot
September afternoon, by a threatening phone call from a complete
stranger, who claims to have found Daragane's old phone book and
wants to question him about a particular name it contains. But when
Daragane agrees to meet the mysterious Gilles Ottolini, he realises
that - try as he might - he cannot place the name "Guy Torstel" at
all. Yet Ottolini is desperate for any information on this man...
Finding himself suddenly entangled in the lives of Ottolini and his
beautiful, but fragile young associate, Daragane is drawn into the
mystery of a decades-old murder that will drag him out of his
lonely apartment and force him to confront the memory of a
long-suppressed personal trauma. Imbued with nostalgia, subtlety,
and its own unique poetry, this darkly mysterious novel weaves a
spell that provokes as much as it entrances.
