Publisher's Summary
When the manuscript of a debut crime novel arrives at a Parisian publishing house, everyone in the readers’ room is convinced it’s something special. And the committee for France’s highest literary honor, the Prix Goncourt, agrees.
But when the shortlist is announced, there’s a problem for editor Violaine Lepage: She has no idea of the author’s identity. As the police begin to investigate a series of murders strangely reminiscent of those recounted in the book, Violaine is not the only one looking for answers. And, suffering memory blanks following an airplane accident, she’s beginning to wonder what role she might play in the story....
Antoine Laurain, best-selling author of The Red Notebook, combines intrigue and charm in this dazzling novel of mystery, love, and the power of books.
What the critics say
"The plot blends mystery with comedy to great effect". (Daily Mail)
"A profound love of books and authors underpins this sprightly mystery." (Publishers Weekly)
"A stylish whodunnit blended with an affectionate send-up of the world of books." (Sunday Mirror)
