Beskrivning

From the author of “His Bloody Project”, shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2016. There does not appear to be anything remarkable about the fatal car crash on the A35. But one question dogs Inspector Georges Gorski: where has the victim, an outwardly austere lawyer, been on the night of his death? The troubled Gorski finds himself drawn into a mystery that takes him behind the respectable veneer of the sleepy French backwater of Saint-Louis. Graeme Macrae Burnet returns with a literary mystery that will beguile fans of “His Bloody Project” and “The Disappearance of Adèle Bedeau”. Darkly humorous, subtle and sophisticated, “The Accident on the A35” burrows deep into the psyches of its characters and explores the forgotten corners of small-town life.

His dazzling second novel, His Bloody Project, was shortlisted for the Booker prize in 2016, and in 2022 his 'brilliant, bamboozling' (Telegraph) fourth novel, Case Study, appeared on the Booker longlist.

Graeme is also the author of two French-set novels inspired by Georges Simenon and featuring Gorski, a detective: The Disappearance of Adele Bedeau (2014) and The Accident on the A35 (2017), with a third Gorski novel set to appear soon. All his novels are published in the UK by independent press Saraband.

Recensioner i media

Highly accomplished, The Accident on the A35 works on several levels… The narration has the simple momentum of classic crime writing… It has a denouement like something out of Greek tragedy but delivers as a proper police procedural too… Burnet's cleverness doesn't get in the way of your enjoyment but playfully adds levels of meaning.
