Lady in the Car with the Glasses and the Gun Résumé

Lady in the Car with the Glasses and the Gun Sebastien Japrisot

Voted one of the Sunday Times 100 Best Crime Novels

'Classic suspenseful noir from the French Graham Greene' The Times

Dany Longo is blonde, beautiful - and thoroughly unpredictable. After doing a favour for her boss, she finds herself behind the wheel of his exquisite Thunderbird on a sun-kissed Parisian morning. On impulse she decides to head south.

What started as an impromptu joy-ride rapidly takes a turn for the chilling when strangers all along the unfamiliar route swear they recognise Dany from the previous day. But that's impossible: she was at work, she was in Paris, she was miles away... wasn't she?

From the author of A Very Long Engagement comes a tangled, terrifying psychological thriller worthy of Georges Simenon, Paula Hawkins or Patricia Highsmith.

Lady in the Car with the Glasses and the Gun Avis

'A welcome reissue of a French classic... Utterly captivating, this is a perfect diversion for a sunny afternoon' The Guardian

'The most welcome talent since the early Simenons' New York Times

Praise for A Very Long Engagement

'A classic of its kind, brewing up enormous pathos undiluted by sentimentality' Daily Telegraph

'Diabolically clever ... The reader is alternately impressed, beguiled, frightened, bewildered ... A considerable achievement' Anita Brookner

'The narrative is brilliantly complex and beguiling, and the climax devastating' The Independent

'Riveting ... A fierce, elliptical novel that's both a gripping philosophical thriller and a highly moving meditation on the emotional consequences of war' New York Times

'Precisely, surprisingly evocative of the lingering pain of mourning and the burdens of survival' Kirkus Reviews

'A kind of latter-day War and Peace ... a rich and most original panorama' Los Angeles Book Review

Praise for One Deadly Summer

'Unreeled with the taut, confident shaping of a grand master ... Funny, awful, first-rate. A rich and resonant sonata in black, astutely suspended between mythic tragedy and the grubby pathos of nagging everyday life' Kirkus Reviews

'A marvellous storyteller' Telerama
