Summary
Only months ago, Harry Ricks was a professor at an American university, living quietly with his wife and daughter. Now he barely survives in a squalid garret in Paris, cut off from his family. Just as he believes he has hit bottom, passion erupts into his life: Margit, Hungarian, sensual and deeply enigmatic, whom he may see only twice a week, asking no questions about her past or her life. Spellbound, Harry agrees, until strange coincidences begin to gather around him. A surprising noir thriller set in an unexpected, twilit Paris haunted by the shadows of Simenon and Buñuel.
