"Wolves" is a classic example of a psychological detective novel, created by the creative tandem of Pierre Boileau and Thomas Narcejac (who wrote under the pseudonym Boileau-Narcejac).
Two friends make an escape from a German prisoner-of-war camp, but when the success of the operation already seems obvious, one of them dies. So, under the name of his comrade Gervais Laroche, he ends up in the home of Hélène Madinier, where the main character is tormented not only by pangs of conscience, but also by a premonition: it is he who becomes the victim of an elaborate intrigue.
"Life Shattered" is an original detective story by the well-known masters of French prose, Pierre Boileau and Thomas Narcejac, in which the investigation is conducted not by a professional sleuth, but by the main character—the victim. Duvall married a woman with money, but the marriage brought no happiness either to him or to his wife Véronique. An accident on the road allows Véronique to believe that Duvall wants her dead.
