О овој е-књизи
The final Henri Castang mystery confirms the Edgar award–winning author's "mastery of character and imagery in a superlative study of people and power ( Publishers Weekly, starred review).
After the murder of dear friends and an attack on his wife, Vera, Inspector Henri Castang is finished with life as an investigator. As the couple settles into an inherited cliff-top home in Biarritz, Castang is just starting to wonder if retirement suits him when his only grandchild is kidnapped, sending him on a terrifying chase that is all too personal. With the local police stunted by politics, it's up to Castang to catch this perp—and he will. Even if it's the last thing he ever does . . .
Praise for Nicolas Freeling:
"In depth of characterization, command of language and breadth of thought, Mr. Freeling has few peers when it comes to the international policier." — The New York Times
"Nicolas Freeling . . . liberated the detective story from page-turning puzzler into a critique of society and an investigation of character." — The Daily Telegraph
"Freeling rewards with his oblique, subtly comic style." — Publishers Weekly
"Freeling writes like no one. . . . He is one of the most literate and idiosyncratic of crime writers." — Los Angeles Times
