Paperback. Condizione: Good. In shade of a mast bobbing o'er the wave She waits and waits, a patient slaveThe house of stone will be her grave. Who does what, who catches who?Who's the cat, who the mouse, who? It's the middle of a long hot summer on the French Mediterranean shore and the town is teeming with tourists. Sebag and Molino, two tired cops who are being slowly devoured by dull routine and family worries, deal with the day's misdemeanors and petty complaints at the Perpignan police headquarters. But then a young Dutch woman is found murdered on a beach at Argel's, and another one disappears without a trace in the alleys of the city. Is it a serial killer obsessed with Dutch women? Maybe. The media senses fresh meat and moves in for the feeding frenzy. Out of the blue, Inspector Gilles Sebag finds himself thrust into the middle of a diabolical game. In order to focus on the matter at hand, he will have to put aside his cares, forget his suspicions about his wife's unfaithfulness, ignore his heart murmur, and get over his existential angst. But there is more to the case than anyone suspects.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The second Inspector Sebag mystery following Summertime, All the Cats Are Bored: "A man like this--a cop like this--is definitely worth knowing" (Los Angeles Review of Books). Inspector Sebag is a policeman in southern France with an unparalleled sixth sense, who excels at slipping into the skin of killers and hunting them down. However, when a retired French Algerian cop is discovered in his apartment with the symbol OAS left near his body and few indications as to who killed him or why, Sebag's skills are put to the test. Days later, when a controversial monument is destroyed and another French Algerian is shot down, Sebag begins to put the pieces together.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The third Inspector Sebag mystery "dives deeper into character than most traditional detective yarns and is written with wit, poignancy, and panache" (Kirkus Reviews). Crime, suspense, and marital woes combine in this atmospheric procedural set in the seemingly quiet Mediterranean town of Perpignan. This winter is going to be a rough one for Insp. Gilles Sebag, for he has discovered a terrible truth: his wife has been cheating on him. Bouncing between depression, whisky, and insomnia, he buries himself in work in an attempt to forget. But his investigations lead him inexorably to bigger tragedies--a woman murdered in a hotel, a depressed man who throws himself from the roof of his building, another who threatens to blow up the neighborhood--all of them involving betrayals of some sort. Perpignan seems to be suffering from a veritable epidemic of crimes of passion. Adultery is everywhere--and each betrayal leads to another dramatic crime. "Vivid and atmospheric . . . A thoughtful, almost lyrical approach to crime fiction, which will appeal to anyone who also liked In Her Wake, he Dying Detective or The Bird Tribunal. Its seasonal themes are also reminiscent of Johan Theorin's Oland quartet, set at a Swedish resort." --Crime Fiction Lover "The most ambitious thematically. In it, Georget takes the stuff of existential novels and folds it into the crime genre's formula."--Los Angeles Review of Books "Engaging . . . The resolution is multilayered and satisfying."--Publishers Weekly "Fans of French settings will enjoy venturing outside of Paris, and the year-end holiday provides an additional measure of atmosphere to the crimes and solutions here."--Library Journal.…
