Henri Castang is summoned from his office at the Police Judiciaire to the site of a triple murder. The killer? A husband who came home unexpectedly to discover his wife and daughter in bed with another man. A crime of passion? Perhaps. Except the murderer in question, wealthy financier Gilbert La Touche, is cool and remote. His confession is as factual and bloodless as the crime is violent and deeply disturbing. As a detective, Castang must play by the rules to protect himself. But for an unconventional cop like Castang, that is virtually impossible. After all, there's more to murder than a few corpses and a killer, and Castang will follow every twist until he gets to the heart of the evil at hand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for Nicolas Freeling\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Nicolas Freeling . . . liberated the detective story from page-turning puzzler into a critique of society and an investigation of character.\" --\u003ci\u003eThe Daily Telegraph\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Freeling rewards with his oblique, subtly comic style.\" --\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNicolas Freeling (1927-2003) was a British crime novelist best known for the Van Der Valk detective series.
