Produktbeschreibung

From an Edgar award winner, French Inspector Castang investigates cases close to his personal life in a mystery rich with "penetrating character sketches" (Kirkus Reviews). It seems there's no escape from crime for Police Commissaire Henri Castang. While in Munich with his wife, he becomes embroiled in a child custody case that suddenly turns sinister. Once back at home, Castang is faced with the mysterious disappearance of a friend's wife, along with what could be a romantic double suicide if it didn't look suspiciously like murder. It's all in a day's work for Inspector Castang in these three interconnected mysteries-crimes which challenge even the enigmatic, brilliant mind of France's renowned detective.... Praise for Nicolas Freeling: "In depth of characterization, command of language and breadth of thought, Mr. Freeling has few peers when it comes to the international policier." -The New York Times "Nicolas Freeling... liberated the detective story from page-turning puzzler into a critique of society and an investigation of character." -The Daily Telegraph "Freeling rewards with his oblique, subtly comic style." -Publishers Weekly "Freeling writes like no one.... He is one of the most literate and idiosyncratic of crime writers." -Los Angeles Times
