About this ebook

“The Blue Room is a wondrous achievement, brief, inexorable, pared to, and agonizingly close to, the bone, and utterly compelling; in short, a true and luminous work of art.” —John Banville

He felt no resentment toward Andrée for biting his lip. In the context of their lovemaking, it had its place.

For Tony and Andrée, there are no rules when they meet in the blue room at the Hôtel des Voyageurs. Their adulterous affair is intoxicating, passionate—and dangerous. It soon turns into a nightmare from which there can be no escape. Heart-pounding and high-stakes, The Blue Room is a stylish and sensual psychological thriller that weaves a story of cruelty, reckless lust, and relentless guilt.

About the author

He is among the most widely read writers in the global canon.
