A literary mystery that is, at heart, an engrossing psychological portrayal of an outsider pushed to the limit by his own feverish imagination.
Manfred Baumann is a loner. Socially awkward and perpetually ill at ease, he spends his evenings quietly drinking and surreptitiously observing Adèle Bedeau, the sullen but alluring waitress at a drab bistro in the unremarkable small French town of Saint-Louis. But one day, she simply vanishes into thin air.
When Georges Gorski, a detective haunted by his failure to solve one of his first murder cases, is called in to investigate the girl's disappearance, Manfred's repressed world is shaken to its core, and he is forced to confront the dark secrets of his past.
'Burnet skilfully knits together a solid detective story and a compelling character study to make a captivating psychological thriller …'
The Herald
'One of the best debuts from a Scottish writer ...'
The National
'A strikingly singular talent, Burnet blends a gripping story with compelling characters and surprising sweeps of the imagination. This is an accomplished, elegantly written and exciting first novel.'
