The Erasers by Alain Robbe-Grillet
Cleverly deconstructing the detective genre, The Erasers, Alain Robbe-Grillets first published novel, shifts between various characters and time frames, while maintaining the suspense of a conventional thriller. The result is an engrossing examination of consciousness and reality which is also one the founding texts of the nouveau roman school.

Uses the full apparatus of the thriller … The conception is both inventive and subtle * The Sunday Times *
