Description

Since 2016, Michel Bussi has been unequivocally leading among detective authors in France, confidently pushing aside the recent favorites of readers. The new detective novel has cemented the writer’s success.

Summer of 1989, Corsica. Young Clothilde arrives with her parents and brother in Corsica, her father’s homeland. A magical summer—sun, sea, dolphins, music, first love—and… a fatal car accident in which her parents and brother die. Only Clо remains alive. Summer of 2016. Clothilde has become a lawyer; she has a beloved husband and a daughter—of the same age as Clothilde was in the year of the tragedy. And now, twenty-seven years later, Clothilde decides to return to Corsica and visit the place of the terrible disaster with her family—to drive out the past that still won’t let her go. But when she arrives in the familiar little village, Clothilde receives a letter… from her dead mother.

In a detective story full of Corsican charm, the noise of the sea, the scents of flowers and blinding sunlight, an astonishingly tangled yet at the same time solid plot is intertwined with a dramatic and complex family story. Michel Bussi, like no other detective writer, knows how to maintain tension and rhythm in every paragraph: events in his book unfold quickly, logically, and absolutely unpredictably.
