Review
"A thrillerish suspense story with a great erotic charge . . . Drop everything and read this!"
--"LIRE
"
"In every scene a heavy atmosphere of what is unspoken reigns. Joncour's literary style is relatively classical, without surprises, but it is the complexity of his characters, their ambiguity, that makes the story so interesting"
--"Paris Magazine
"
"In the company of this Ripley of another genre, the reader waits for Philip, just like one waits for Godot. Inevitably you think of Patricia Highsmith to whom Joncour renders homage"
--"Elle"
Product Description
This title is the winner of the Prix Roman France Televisions. On a hot and lazy sun-drenched afternoon, when one affluent family are at their most docile, most vulnerable, most ripe for the picking, a handsome stranger unexpectedly turns up, and lingers poolside. A master of the art of deception, Boris introduces himself as an old school friend of Philip, the feckless brother. No matter that Philip has been unreachable for days and yet to arrive for the summer holiday, Boris is welcomed with open arms. As the island's spectacular Bastille Day fireworks celebration looks ever nearer, and Philip's arrival feels increasingly imminent, Boris is embraced wholeheartedly into the family fold. No one seems to notice as he carefully exerts a powerful and sinister influence over them all...
