Leicester : Ulverscroft, 2018.

Translated from the French.

On the Saturday morning of January 9, 1993, while Jean-Claude Romand was killing his wife and children, I was with mine in a parent-teacher meeting. Jean-Claude and Luc had been friends for 20 years: the former a leading figure in the world of research, hobnobbing with government ministers and attending international conferences; the latter a general practitioner. But when Luc is summoned to the police station in the aftermath of the tragedy, he discovers that everything he thought he knew about Jean-Claude was a sham - and he is left with the puzzling task of discovering how a man could successfully live a lie for almost two decades.
