"A most wonderfully wry noir murder mystery you'll not soon forget."—Durango Herald
"Garnier's sly, cynical take on life will strike a chord with readers of every age."—Publishers Weekly
"Ultimately a very dark novel, but a very impressive one."—The Complete Review
Bernard lives with his sister Yolande who hasn't left the house since 1945. Bernard is now in the final months of a terminal illness. With no longer anything to lose, he becomes reckless—and murderous.
Locally the A26 is under construction. Concrete still wet, it stands ready to serve as a discrete cemetery for lost girls.

Garnier plunges you into a bizarre, overheated world, seething death, writing, fictions and philosophy. He's a trippy, sleazy, sly and classy read.-- AL Kennedy
A brilliant exercise in grim and gripping irony, it makes you grin as well as wince. --The Sunday Telegraph
This is tough, bloody stuff, but put together with a cunning intelligence. --The Sunday Times
For those with a taste for Georges Simenon or Patricia Highsmith, Garnier's recently translated oeuvre will strike a chord --The Independent
Pascal Garnier, who died in March 2010, was a talented novelist, short story writer, children’s author and painter. From his home in the mountains of the Ardèche, he wrote fiction in a noir palette with a cast of characters drawn from ordinary provincial life. Though his writing is often very dark in tone, it sparkles with quirkily beautiful imagery and dry wit. Garnier’s work has been likened to the great thriller writer, Georges Simenon.
