Publisher's Summary
For Commandant Verhoeven, life is beautiful: He is happily married, expecting his first child with the lovely Irene.
But his blissful existence is punctured by a murder of unprecedented savagery. Worse still, the press seem to have it in for him - his every move is headline news. When he discovers that the killer has killed before - that each murder is a homage to a classic crime novel - the fourth estate are quick to coin a nickname: The Novelist.
With both men in the public eye, the case develops into a personal duel, each hell-bent on outsmarting the other. There can only be one winner - whoever has the least to lose....

What the critics say
"Quirky, brutal and not for the faint-hearted, it is crime fiction of the highest class.... Superbly constructed and executed, it puts Lemaitre very close to Ellroy's class. If you pick it up, you won't be able to put it down." (Geoffery Wansell, Daily Mail)
" Irene, is... clever, as the diminutive Parisian detective Camille Verhoeven is initially confronted with a murder scene so horrific that it puts him in mind of Goya's Saturn Devouring his Son." ( Irish Times)
"[ Irene is] hardly predictable, as [Lemaitre] pushes the pulse-quickening plot toward an ingenious-and shocking-finale." ( Library Journal)
