Produktbeschreibung
Brooding and propulsive, Georges Simenon's indictment of American suburbia follows a Connecticut lawyer who, after years of jealousy and rage, finally tears down the facade of his perfect life. Donald Dodd has always envied Ray Sanders. A Madison Avenue adman with an actress wife and a gift for womanizing, Ray grabs anything he wants from life. Donald, his best friend from Yale, has chosen a safer, more circumspect path. Respected in his job as a small-town lawyer, he's faithfully married to the serene Isabel, a Mayflower descendant, while their two daughters attend a prestigious Connecticut boarding school. It's an irreproachable existence indeed. But everything changes one winter night at a party, when Donald catches Ray with the host's beautiful young wife. Suddenly, Donald's years of jealousy boil over into rage. But is he actually capable of murder? Under Georges Simenon's unsparing gaze, the psychological fault lines of 1960s American suburbia are exposed as never before.
Autorenporträt
Georges Simenon (1903-1989) was born in Liège, Belgium. An intrepid traveler with a profound interest in people, Simenon strove on and off the page to understand-and not to judge-the human condition in all its shades. His books include the Inspector Maigret series and a richly varied body of wider work united by its evocative power, its economy of means, and its penetrating psychological insight. He is among the most widely read writers in the global canon.
