Description

A dark and twisted tale of obsession and murder unfolds in Edinburgh's grey streets. When Jean-Marie meets Marjory, a beautiful Englishwoman on holiday, he is drawn to her passion and beauty. But his happiness is short-lived as he discovers she is married. Despite the heartbreak, Jean-Marie becomes fixated on Marjory, leading him to take a desperate gamble: following her back to Scotland. As fate would have it, Jean-Marie's luck runs out in Edinburgh, where a jealous husband and a deadly encounter set off a nightmarish chain of events. The city's labyrinthine streets become a character in their own right, as the lines between reality and obsession blur. A gripping and unsettling read, this French noir novel explores the darker side of human nature, where passion and betrayal can lead to devastating consequences.
