A writer discovers a set of notes in his notebook and sets off on a
journey through the Paris of his past, in search of the woman he
loved forty years previously. Set in the Montparnasse district of
Paris, the author, Jean, retraces his nocturnal footsteps around
the left bank during France's period of decolonisation during the
1960's. He tries to remember what brought him into contact with a
gang that frequented the hotel Unic in the area. His quest through
seedy cafes and cheap hotels becomes an enquiry into a woman,
Dannie, whom Jean loved and who once tried to admit to a terrible
crime. Over the course of several voyages between past and present,
we meet various shady characters, and discover that Dannie may have
killed "someone". As his memories overlap with the discovery of an
old vice squad dossier, Jean reinvestigates the closed case of a
crime where he could well be the last remaining witness. Translated
from the French by Mark Polizzotti
