"When John Nichols arrives to identify the body of an old friend, he is immediately caught up in the detritus of Alan Musgrave's life, the side of Paris the tourists don't see, where everyone has a past but very few count on a future. But what can he expect from a man who bled to death in his own excruciating S&M stage show? Now there's a maverick police lieutenant on the prowl who thinks that Musgrave's suicide was murder. Guérin might not look like much, but he's one of the few honest officers on the force. As the horrific extent of police abuse is revealed, the race is on to find the link between a slew of recent suicides--and the key to it is buried deep in Nichols's past."--Publisher website.… (meer)

Quite possibly the worst mystery/novel/ book I have ever read. The translation is a mess, and most of the book is filled with information that has no relevance to the razor thin storyline. A mixed up boring book.

Varenne scrive in un modo appassionante, coinvolgente, assolutamente capace di raccontare il profilo psicologico dei suoi personaggi. Anche i personaggi secondari diventano protagonisti. Non solo il detective, ma anche le sue spalle, le vittime e talvolta le comparse, saltano in primo piano.
I suicidi sui quali il commissario Guerin sta indagando lasciano dei dubbi. La trama si articola tra i misteri per la morte di un cittadino americano reduce dalla guerra in Iraq e diventato fachiro in una bettola parigina e gli intrighi all'interno di una Polizia corrotta. Sembrano storie che non possono incontrarsi, ma la maestria di di Varenne riesce a collegarle accompagnando il lettore in un ritmo incalzante e mai banale. Neppure il finale è scontato. ( )

Molto faraginoso e abbastanza lento per essere un giallo. (non finito) ( )

The classic eccentric, miserable detective. ( )

Lots going on here, all seemingly disconnected except that French cop Richard Guérin, tasked with investigating Parisian suicides, believes that everything is connected so searches for the links. This is a dark, disturbing and surreal novel where possibly nothing is at it seems, or it is, in fact, exactly what you think it is. I’m really not sure whether is this one of the best pieces of crime fiction I’ve read, or is just a mildly diverting and slightly bonkers read. I’m leaning towards the former mainly because Varenne’s characters are so flawed and compelling that by the end of the book I cared about their fate. ( )
