"Do you think it's possible to live again, Monsieur? ... I mean ... is it possible to die and then ... live again in someone else?" You're no longer in the police, but when an old friend asks you to look after his wife as a favour, how can you refuse? She's been behaving strangely, mysteriously - but she's dazzling. And so Flavières begins to scour the streets of Paris in search of an answer - in search of a woman who belongs to no one, not even to herself. Soon intrigue is replaced by obsession, and dreams by nightmares, as the boundaries between the living and the dead begin to blur.This is the story of a desperate man. A man who ended up compromising his own morality beyond all measure, while the Second World War raged outside his front door. A man tormented by his search for the truth, and ultimately destroyed by a dark, terrible secret.

Mr. Hyde
René Jeantôme, Autor eines einzigen Buches, leidet immer stärker darunter, daß die Quelle schöpferischer Intuition seit einiger Zeit versiegt zu sein scheint. Die Lektüre anderer Autoren quält ihn, die unermüdliche Schreiblust seiner Frau, einer berühmten Erfolgsautorin, ekelt ihn an, und der Gedanke an ein neues Werk, den großen Durchbruch, lähmt ihn vollends. Sein Arzt, der Neurologe Dr. Brillouin, rät ihm, ein Tagebuch zu führen, um die Worte wieder fließen zu lassen. Als Jeantôme von dem Mord an der alten Dame erfährt, interessiert er sich für die näheren Umstände und ist schockiert: Der Mörder hat die Tat genau vorbereitet, alles nach seinem Willen arrangiert und zum...
Crime Scenes
The essays in this collection are based on papers given at a conference on detective fiction in European culture, held at the University of Exeter in September 1997. The range of topics covered is designed to show not only the presence and variety of narratives of detection across different European countries and their different media (although there is a predictable emphasis on the novel). It also illustrates the fertility of the genre, its openness to a spectrum of readings with different emphases, formal as well as thematic. Approaches to detective fiction have often tended to confine them-selves to 'symptomatic' interpretation, where details of the fictional world represented are used to...

The Pleasures of Crime
For 150 years the French public and literati have enjoyed a love affair with crime fiction. This book investigates the nature of this relationship and how through periods of dramatic social and political change in France it has flourished. It challenges the conventional view of a popular genre feeding a niche market, depicting crime fiction instead as a field of creative endeavour, which has gradually matured into one of considerable literary fertility. By inviting us to share secrets and crack codes, creating suspense and (at times) not shirking from presenting horrific events in graphic language, the crime story brings into play the intellect and emotions of its readership. This book explo...
