Douglas Kennedy’s new novel demonstrates once again his talent for writing serious popular fiction. The Pursuit of Happiness and A Special Relationship were both Sunday Times bestsellers in paperback.
When Harry Ricks arrives in Paris on a bleak January morning he is a broken man. He is running away from a failed marriage and a dark scandal that ruined his career as a film lecturer in a small American university. With no money and nowhere to live, Harry swiftly falls in with the city’s underclass, barely scraping a living while trying to finish the book he’d always dreamed of writing.
A chance meeting with a mysterious woman, Margit Kadar, with whom Harry falls in love, is his only hope of a brighter future. However, Margit isn’t all she seems to be and Harry increasingly feels that a dark force is at work in his life — as punishment begins to be meted out to anyone who has recently done him wrong. Before he knows it, he finds himself of increasing interest to the police, and waking up in a nightmare from which there is no easy escape.

Quel dommage, j'adore Douglas Kennedy et j'ai lu tous ses livres, mais celui-ci est complètement raté à mon avis. Quelle idée de faire intervenir du surnaturel dans une histoire relativement crédible jusque là... Quelle déception pour une fan de Kennedy !
J'ai lu tous les Douglas Kennedy, en règle général avec énormément de plaisir. Celui-ci est très très en dessous de la moyenne. Il est plat et la fin ne rime à rien...
