The second volume of Simone de Beauvoirs autobiography, starting at the age of 21.
Passant d'une carrière d'architecte à celle d'écrivain, cet auteur apporte une perspective unique à l'écriture de mystères, s'inspirant d'expériences d'intrigues et de manœuvres suspectes rencontrées dans sa vie professionnelle. Son premier roman met en scène un architecte qui découvre un meurtre lors d'une crue majeure, le forçant à endosser le rôle d'un détective amateur pour protéger sa carrière et sa vie. Le style narratif de l'auteur est façonné par son expérience dans la rédaction de propositions et une profonde appréciation des histoires familiales, y compris des récits de guerre humoristiques et des entreprises journalistiques, insufflant à sa fiction à la fois suspense et détails authentiques.
