Description
Little Malone lives with his father and mother, who love him — his mother especially. She will do anything for him. But every evening, when Malone goes to bed and the door closes behind his mother, comes the time when his beloved stuffed toy named Gouti tells him mysterious stories. His mother taught him to listen to Gouti — but a different mother. His real mother. Nobody pays any attention to the little boy's claims that his mother is not really his mother, except for a child psychologist who is struck by the clarity and vividness of the boy's accounts. He will share his doubts with police commissioner Marianne Augresse, whose experience and instinct will tell her that the case is indeed a strange one. But she has no time to deal with a little boy's tales — the commissioner is weighed down by a tangled case involving an armed robbery during which a couple of the bandits were killed, while the rest have seemingly vanished into thin air. If only she knew that the key to solving this high-profile robbery lies in the ephemeral memory of a child, in an old stuffed animal…
This new novel has cemented Michel Bussi's reputation as one of France's finest crime writers. In 2015, "While You Sleep" topped the crime fiction bestseller lists, and Bussi himself became one of the three most successful writers in France that same year. His crime novels contain no rivers of blood or piles of brutality; Bussi captivates his readers with sophisticated psychological depth, far-from-straightforward plots, and the romantic atmosphere of Normandy. His books are an engrossing detective pleasure.
Without doubt, Michel Bussi is the most brilliant name in contemporary French popular fiction. To outpace such masters as Grangé, Pennac, Gavalda, and Vargas, one must be a truly exceptional author.
