During the First World War five French soldiers, accused of a cowardly attempt to evade duty, are bundled into no man's land and certain death. Five bodies are later recovered; the families are notified that the men died in the line of duty... After the war Mathilde, the fiancée of one of the men, receives a letter which hints at what might have happened, and she sets off to discover the fate of her beloved amid the carnage of battlefield. Her quest becomes an unusual and engrossing thriller as she discovers an increasing number of people trying to put her off the scent. A Very Long Engagement is a suspenseful thriller and one which transforms a personal tragedy into the epitome of all wartime atrocities. The dénouement, when it finally happens, is moving and horribly convincing. - Häftad, Engelska, 2004

Es ist eine sonderbare Gemeinschaft, in die der dreißigjährige Tony Cardot so gewaltsam hineinversetzt worden ist. Vier Männer und zwei Mädchen, nicht unsympathisch, die sich in einem verlassenen Gasthaus an einem Nebenarm des St. Lorenz-Stroms eingerichtet haben. Sie haben Waffen, und sie planen etwas. Ein Verbrechen? Aber warum belasten sie sich dann mit einem Unbekannten?Wenn er nicht weiß, was er von den Fremden halten soll, so müssen sie sich ihrerseits bestimmt auch über ihn wundern, warum er seine Lage so klaglos hinnimmt.Woher sollen sie auch wissen, daß drei Männer ihn von Frankreich bis Kanada verfolgt haben, damit er die Schuld bezahlt, die er auf sich geladen hat? Und daß er gerade den tödlichen Schuß erwartete, als sie dazugekommen sind und ihn in ihr Auto gezerrt haben? Es war eine Entführung, die ihm – vorübergehend – das Leben gerettet hat. Ein paar Tage lang hofft Tony sogar gegen besseres Wissen, daß er seine Verfolger vielleicht endgültig abgeschüttelt hat. Und wenn das stimmt, wird er sich gewiß nicht an irgendeinem riskanten Unternehmen beteiligen.Aber dann klingt vom Fluß her die Melodie zu ihm herüber.Sie haben ihn eingeholt.Für einen Mann, dessen Tage gezählt sind, existieren die üblichen Bedenken nicht mehr. Ihn lockt auch nicht das versprochene Geld. Er macht mit, weil mitmachen besser ist, als untätig den Tod zu erwarten.Verfilmt unter dem Titel «Treibjagd». - Häftad, Engelska, 2019

Described as 'the Graham Greene of France' by The Independent, cult French noir writer Japrisot brings us a psychological thriller of mistaken identity.
'Classic suspenseful noir' The Times
Dany Longo is blonde, beautiful — and thoroughly unpredictable. After doing a favour for her boss, she finds herself behind the wheel of his exquisite Thunderbird on a sun-kissed Parisian morning. On impulse she decides to head south.
What started as an impromptu joy-ride rapidly takes a turn for the chilling when strangers all along the unfamiliar route swear they recognise Dany from the previous day. But that’s impossible: she was at work, she was in Paris, she was miles away... wasn’t she?
From the author of A Very Long Engagement comes a tangled, terrifying psychological thriller worthy of Georges Simenon, Paula Hawkins or Patricia Highsmith.
