« With Claire Favan, appearances are always deceiving. » — Le point

Owen Maker’s life feels like one long punishment. To live in peace, he has avoided all temptation to rebel quietly waiting for the moment when he will be able to reinvent himself. In the meantime, this ordinary man shares a house divided in two with his ex-wife. Owen is a patient ex, the ideal son-in-law, and his father-in-law’s favorite salesman.

Owen is docile. Well, almost…

He refuses to back down on one point, he will not change his mind about separating from Sally. Not even when she threatens to kill herself, and not after her daily insults making him out to be the bad guy in front of anyone and everyone.

And then an unwelcome light is shone on Owen’s quiet existence. His DNA is discovered at the crime scene of a killer who has been mercilessly tearing through the area, for years. The police and FBI are on his back. The hell that was his daily existence is nothing compared to the storm he is about to face head on.

Claire Favan works in finance. She is the author ofw Tueur intime (Prix VSD du Polar 2010, Prix Sang pour Sang Polar 2011) Tueur de l’ombre, Serre-moi fort (Prix Griffe noire — Best French Crime Novel 2016) and more recently Inexorable.
