The final translation of the late, great Garnier; one last chance to be entranced by the surreal, bleak landscape of his bizarrely brilliant world.Masterly''John Banville''Wonderful . . . properly noir''Ian RankinMarc dreams of going somewhere far, far away - but he''ll start by taking his cat and his grown-up daughter, Anne, to an out-of-season resort on the Channel.Reluctant to go home, the curious threesome head south for Agen, whose main claim to fame is its prunes. As their impromptu road trip takes ever stranger turns, the trail of destruction - and mysterious disappearances - mounts up in their wake.Shocking, hilarious and poignant, the final dose of French noir from Pascal Garnier, published shortly before his death, is the author on top form."
