Produktbeschreibung

When electronics magnate David Crown finds himself at the scene of a hate crime, his idyll in the Midi countryside abruptly ends.

Against a backdrop of Gallic bonhomie and summer's languid ripening, David, his bookish girlfriend Rowena, and his demented mother Miriam struggle to make a home of a gilded Mansard as it swiftly devolves into a web of mishap and murder.

With deftness and compassion, Casper Silk entwines the destinies of a village thrust into the new millennium, a teenager convicted of a firebombing, and a man struggling, at midlife, to cross a border and seize his dreams.

"In this well-crafted literary novel, the author captures the myriad nuances of a mid-life crisis and brings to life an idyllic village in the French Midi only to haunt it with dark forces. The perfect chateau proves no refuge for protagonist David Crown. Amid a hail of firebombs and truffles, his world comes tumbling down."
David Liss

Autorenporträt

Casper Silk, author of the literary suspense novels HOTEL NOIR and ECHO YEAR, has been called "cagey and poetic" and compared to F. Scott Fitzgerald, Thomas Mann, Graham Greene, P.D. James "on steroids" and J.G. Ballard.

Silk is the pseudonym of award-winning author Germaine Shames, whose works defy easy categorization, combining elements of literary and genre fiction, and straying from the straight-and-narrow of chronology into a kaleidoscopic striptease of the human soul.
