"Simenon has concentrated noir into a darkness as solid and heavy as the interior of a dwarf star." -William T. Vollmann What happens to everyday morality in a time of political deceit and betrayal? In an unnamed city under military occupation, nineteen-year-old Frank-a low-level thug and thief-should be content enough with his warm home and full stomach, even against the dreariness of an endless winter.
