Much as I enjoy a good action-thriller film every once in a while I do not generally read crime fiction, or crime non-fiction for that matter. I have been a victim of crime more times than I care to discuss and I have very low regard for criminals. I mean really low. It was by accident that I was lured into this account of Jean-Claude Romand. Romand is no "romantic" criminal. Except for maybe Robin Hood, there are no romantic criminals for me. In the telling of this story there is a man with a great void in him. And stupidity. And cowardice. There is an emptiness of meaning. In some ways this story is a distillation of some of my greatest fears. My fears that I will some day let down my family. My fears that I myself am an empty vessel. At the same time it is a call to me not to be consumed by my fears, and not to let what little truth I know escape into the emptiness of space. ( ) L'avversario può condurre al doppio di se stessi e. come Stevenson insegna, l'ambivalenza è comune negli uomini. Carrere: "Desidero farle capire che a spingermi verso di lei non è una curiosità malsana o il gusto del sensazionale. Ai miei occhi, ciò che lei ha fatto non è il gesto di un comune criminale, né di un pazzo, ma di un uomo spinto agli estremi da forze che non controlla, e vorrei mostrare all'opera proprio queste terribili forze."

On the Saturday morning of January 9, 1993, while Jean Claude Romand was killing his wife and children, I was with mine in a parent-teacher meeting. Who could have imagined Jean Claude Romand as a murderer? He was after all a distinguished doctor at the World Health Organisation, an irreproachable husband and father and a loving son. If there was a problem, no one knew it. But there were many. Unknown to anyone Romand had no medical qualifications; he had no job and no influential contacts; and he had spent all his in-laws' money. When a relative went to break the terrible news of the murder of his wife and children to Romand's parents, they too were dead - murdered by the stranger who had been their son. A mesmerising account of the hundreds of daily lies that propelled one man's life, The Adversary is also a meditation on the mystery of identity, evil and the desperate logic by which it is easier to kill than to confess.
