'I had begun, God knows why, tearing a corner off of everyday truth, begun seeing myself in another kind of mirror, and now the whole of the old, more or less comfortable truth was falling to pieces'
Confident and successful, New York advertising executive Ray Sanders takes what he wants from life. Then one evening, he goes missing in a snow storm in Connecticut and his closest friend begins to reassess his loyalties, gambling Ray's fate and his own future. Simenon's taut, devastating psychological novel delves into the lies we tell ourselves, and the darkness within us.
