Their revival could be just around the corner." — The Observer "It’s a game of cat and mouse where cat and mouse are both wearing masks: claustrophobic, paranoid in the extreme, and very entertaining. A tough-guy version of Kafka." - The Spectator"No question: for me, he was the greatest." - Philippe Geluck"" — International Crime Fiction"His language is cutting, his point-of-view original and his verdict uncompromising... One of the few twentieth-century authors to win both critical acclaim and great popularity" - Solidarité Militaire"The literary descendant of Simenon and Celine" - Le Figaro"Fast-moving... a one-sitting read" – Barry Forshaw, Independent"…this short, sly novel of the night has more than enough substance and mystery to keep readers awake and engrossed.” – Malcolm Forbes, The National"A typically fast-paced, brutal and smart offering from the prolific French writer" – Sunday Times Crime Club"France's most popular post-war author." - L'Express
