About
the book:
It’s Christmas in Paris and Chief of Police Nico Sirsky has
an uneasy feeling that something is very wrong with the case he’s
investigating. He and his team of crack homicide detectives follow the clues
from an apparent suicide, to an apparent accident, to an all-out murder as an
intricate machination starts breaking down. Just how far can despair push a
man? How clear is the line between good and evil?
About
the author
Called, “the French Michael Connelly,” Frédérique Molay
graduated from France’s prestigious Science Po and began her career in politics
and the French administration. She worked as chief of staff for the deputy mayor of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, and then was elected to the local government in Saône-et-Loire.
Meanwhile, she spent her nights pursing a passion for
writing she had nourished since she wrote her first novel at the age of eleven. The first in the Paris Homicide series, The
7th Woman, won France’s most prestigious crime fiction award and went on to become
an international bestseller, allowing Molay to dedicate her life to writing and
raising her three children.

About
the translator
Anne Trager loves France so much she has lived there
for 27 years and just can’t seem to leave. What keeps her there is a uniquely
French mix of pleasure seeking and creativity. Well, that and the wine. In
2011, she woke up one morning and said, “I just can’t stand it anymore. There
are way too many good books being written in France not reaching a broader
audience.” That’s when she founded Le French Book to translate some of those
books into English. The company’s motto is “If we love it, we translate it,”
and Anne loves crime fiction, mysteries and detective novels.
My
reviews of The 7th Woman and Crossing the Line will both be posted
over the next couple of days. I will say
that they are fantastic reads so far!

My all time favorite thriller in France (or anywhere else) is the classic Day of the Jackel by Frederick Forsyth. Book and movie are both excellent.
