Rider on the Rain

English

By (author): Sbastien Japrisot Sebastien Japrisot

Translated by: Linda Coverdale

Described as 'the Graham Greene of France' by The Independent, cult French noir writer Japrisot brings us a stylish thriller about revenge.

‘A magician who lays out the truth on the page’ Le Monde 

The bus never stops in Le Cap-des-Pins. Not in autumn, when the small Riviera resort is deserted. Except today, when a man with a red bag and a disconcerting stare steps out into the rain.

His arrival will throw the life of young housewife Mellie Mau into disarray. After surviving a horrific attack, she has a dark secret to hide. But a stranger at a wedding, the enigmatic American Harry Dobbs, is determined to get the truth out of her, leading her into a game of cat and mouse with dangerous consequences …

A cool, twisty thriller from cult French noir writer Sébastien Japrisot.
