Description
A dark and atmospheric novel from Georges Simenon, published in 2020. On a foggy winter's evening in Dieppe, a railway signalman's life is forever changed when he witnesses a brutal murder. As the investigation unfolds, he becomes embroiled in a feverish chase, with the murderer and witness engaging in a cat-and-mouse game of mutual understanding. Written just after the launch of Inspector Maigret novels, this haunting tale has become a staple of mystery fiction, inspiring several film and TV adaptations.
