"A gripping tale of hatred, revenge, and lust ... a sinister spellbinder." — Publishers Weekly

But his bride's motivation is slowly revealed as a cunning plan to avenge a long-ago crime. Told from four fascinating perspectives, this French noir thriller won the prestigious Prix Deux Magots. One Deadly Summer is a true classic of suspense.
