Bouncing between depression, whisky, and insomnia, he buries himself in work in an attempt to forget.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut his investigations lead him inexorably to bigger tragedies—a woman murdered in a hotel, a depressed man who throws himself from the roof of his building, another who threatens to blow up the neighborhood—all of them involving betrayals of some sort. Perpignan seems to be suffering from a veritable epidemic of crimes of passion. Adultery is everywhere! And each betrayal leads to another dramatic crime.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSebag has an uncanny ability to slip into the skin of his suspects and solve apparently unsolvable crimes. Though professionally charmed, he is unlucky in love. He is a perfect protagonist for the town of Perpignan, sleepy and leisurely on the surface, seething with vice and violence underneath.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrom the Trade Paperback edition.\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Europa Editions, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47147944182000,"sku":"9781609453909","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781609453909_p0.jpg?v=1763836038","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781609453909","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
