Praise
“With their tight plots, the stories are particularly cinematic, and fi lm-makers are already showing interest. Dard also wrote screenplays and plays. Their revival could be just around the corner.” — The Observer
“It’s a game of cat and mouse where cat and mouse are both wearing masks: claustrophobic, paranoid in the extreme, and very entertaining. A tough-guy version of Kafka.” – The Spectator
“No question: for me, he was the greatest.” - Philippe Geluck
“” — International Crime Fiction
“His language is cutting, his point-of-view original and his verdict uncompromising… One of the few twentieth-century authors to win both critical acclaim and great popularity” - Solidarité Militaire
“The literary descendant of Simenon and Celine” – Le Figaro
“Fast-moving… a one-sitting read” – Barry Forshaw, Independent
“…this short, sly novel of the night has more than enough substance and mystery to keep readers awake and engrossed.” – Malcolm Forbes, The National
“A typically fast-paced, brutal and smart offering from the prolific French writer” – Sunday Times Crime Club
“France’s most popular post-war author.” - L’Express
