Product Description
Product Description
Set in Paris and attracting comparisons with Franz Kafka and Edgar Allan Poe, ‘The Pigeon’ is Patrick Suskind’s tense, disturbing follow-up to the bestselling ‘Perfume’. The novella tells the story of a day in the meticulously ordered life of bank security guard, Jonathan Noel, who has been hiding from life since his wife left him for her Tunisian lover. When Jonathan opens his front door on a day he believes will be just like any other, he encounters not the desired empty hallway but an unwelcome, diabolical intruder… ‘A psychologically plausible novel and a haunting modern-day fable’ Observer.

First Sentence
At the time the pigeon affair overtook him, unhinging his life from one day to the next, Jonathan Noel, already past fifty, could look back over a good twenty-year period of total uneventfulness and would never have expected anything of importance could ever overtake him again - other than death some day.
