Beschreibung

A claustrophobic thriller from the French master of noir Putting dead bodies in the ground for a living could give anyone ideas... Blaise is out of work and down on his luck when a chance encounter with a beautiful blonde has him hooked. He'll do anything to stay by her side, even if it means working for her husband, a funeral director. But as everyone knows, three's a crowd. Praise for Dard's thrillers: 'Worthy of Agatha Christie at her devious best... Classic French noir' Guardian 'Spellbinding' Wall Street Journal 'The wonder is that Frédéric Dard's singular take on crime noir is not better known in this country' Daily Mail Frédéric Dard (1921-2000) was one of the best known and loved French crime writers of the twentieth century. Enormously prolific, he wrote more than three hundred thrillers, suspense stories, plays and screenplays, under a variety of noms de plume, throughout his long and illustrious career, which also saw him win the 1957 Grand prix de littérature policière for The Executioner Weeps. Dard's Bird in a Cage, The Wicked Go to Hell, Crush, The Executioner Weeps and The King of Fools are also available or forthcoming from Pushkin Vertigo.

To François RICHARD to thank him for the corrections he has given me.

 

F.D.

The characters in this work, like their names, are fictional. Any resemblance to real people is a matter of coincidence.

You have to have waited patiently outside a telephone booth occupied by a woman to really appreciate just how much the fairer sex likes to talk.

I’d already been waiting my turn for a good ten minutes in that provincial post office that smelt of sadness, with only the sympathetic face of the switchboard girl to sustain me, when the lady in the booth finally ended the chatter she was paying for.

As it was a booth with frosted glass, until that point I’d had only her voice to go on in forming an impression of her.

I don’t know why, but I had expected to see someone short, plump and awkward emerge. When she appeared, however, I realized how arrogant it is to think you can put together a picture of a person from their voice.
