Description
Guy Roland waits for the rain to stop, his pale shape silhouetted against the café terrace. His memories erased by amnesia, he has no idea who he is or where he comes from. As a private detective in Paris, he searches for clues through the city's shadowy streets and smoky bars, latching on to strangers and accumulating mementoes, photographs, scraps and stories. As he pieces together his past, Roland's investigation leads him back to the murky days of wartime occupation. With each new discovery, he edges closer to uncovering the truth about himself. But the more he learns, the more questions arise, and the city seems to grow darker and more complex. This is a gripping noir masterpiece that explores the complexities of identity and memory, set against the atmospheric backdrop of post-war Paris.
