This beautifully crafted thriller set in a European world of small-town hypocrisy was made into a film in 1998. It is written by an essayist, script writer and best-selling novelist whose work is now available in English for the first time.

“A devilish dive into an obsessed mind. Despite, or because
of, his many humorous quirks, the hero is also a convincing
Everyman.”
