Inhaltsangabe

The A26 tells the grisly story of a dying man with murderous intent, from the 'slyly funny' [Sunday Times] Pascal Garnier.

'Ultimately a very dark novel, but a very impressive one' The Complete Review 

Bernard lives with his sister Yolande who hasn't left the house since 1945. Bernard is now in the final months of a terminal illness. With no longer anything to lose, he becomes reckless—and murderous.

Locally the A26 is under construction. Concrete still wet, it stands ready to serve as a discrete cemetery for lost girls. 

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Pascal Garnier, who died in March 2010, was a talented novelist, short story writer, children’s author and painter. From his home in the mountains of the Ardèche, he wrote fiction in a noir palette with a cast of characters drawn from ordinary provincial life. Though his writing is often very dark in tone, it sparkles with quirkily beautiful imagery and dry wit. Garnier’s work has been likened to the great thriller writer, Georges Simenon. 

Melanie Florence teaches at the University of Oxford and translates from the French.
