Dirty War by Dominique Sylvain
Lola and Ingrid reunite for a much more personal investigation in this thriller featuring corruption and intrigue in North Africa.
There is an echo of Chandler's gallant, world-weary Philip Marlowe in grumpy former police commissioner Lola JostThere is a salute to Agatha Christie in the way the prime suspect is finally confronted and shamed by a chain of evidence pointing to their unequivocal guilt. There is also a strong flavour of Simenon in the way she evokes Paris through the inviting fug of its glowing cafes, after-hours clubs and shady denizens with guilty secrets they are reluctant to share. - Sunday HeraldSuperb - Irish ExaminerIt is unusual to find a crime novel that works on so many levels simultaneously . . . A wholly satisfying read - www.CrimeFictionLover.comLola and Ingrid are fantastic together . . . Sylvain embraces the best qualities of Montalblano while imbuing it with the true French style - upcoming4me
