Gilles Sebag, for he has discovered a terrible truth: his wife has been cheating on him. Bouncing between depression, whisky, and insomnia, he buries himself in work in an attempt to forget.\u003cbr\u003eBut his investigations lead him inexorably to bigger tragedies—a woman murdered in a hotel, a depressed man who throws himself from the roof of his building, another who threatens to blow up the neighborhood—all of them involving betrayals of some sort. Perpignan seems to be suffering from a veritable epidemic of crimes of passion. Adultery is everywhere—and each betrayal leads to another dramatic crime.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Vivid and atmospheric . . . A thoughtful, almost lyrical approach to crime fiction, which will appeal to anyone who also liked \u003ci\u003eIn Her Wake\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ehe Dying Detective\u003c\/i\u003e or \u003ci\u003eThe Bird Tribunal\u003c\/i\u003e.
