Biographical note
Hervé Le Corre is one of the foremost voices of contemporary French noir. He’s the author of several award-winning crime fiction novels, including Talking to Ghosts (2014), and After the War (Maclehose Press 2015), and In the Shadow of the Fire (Europa Editions, 2021). Tina Kover is a literary translator whose works include The Black City by Georges Sand, as well as works by Anna Gavalda and Mallock, both published by Europa Editions.“An astounding epic in which the reader is taken above all with the strength of the solidarity and heroism of ordinary people, and the infinite hope of those who believe to the end in the causes they are fighting for.”
L’Express
“Le Corre is an aquafortist. From beginning to end of this dazzling novel, he deepens the shadows in his Paris of soot and night. Here and there, touches of colour: the bloody red of the Communards’ flag, the incandescence of a fire, the flame of a hurricane lamp. Glimmers of hope flicker and don’t go out.”
Le Monde
“In a perfectly constructed historical frame, supported by breathless intrigue, Hervé Le Corre offers up a fascinating red-and-black novel. To be read passionately!”
