The Lady in the Car with Glasses and a Gun

The Lady in the Car with Glasses and a Gun introduces Dany Longo, a blonde, beautiful, and thoroughly unpredictable woman. After doing a favour for her boss, she finds herself behind the wheel of his exquisite Thunderbird car on a sun-kissed Parisian morning. Supposed to drive it back to his house, she impulsively decides to head south toward the sea.

What starts as an impromptu joyride rapidly becomes a nightmare when strangers all along the unfamiliar route claim to recognise Dany from the previous day. But that's impossible: she was at work, she was in Paris, she was miles away... wasn't she?

So begins a series of bewildering, terrifying encounters on the road. It hits crisis point when Dany discovers a corpse in the trunk of the Thunderbird. Is Dany the victim of a complicated conspiracy, or is her grip on reality rapidly slipping away?

Blending unnerving tension with a fiendish puzzle plot, this intricate noir thriller from bestselling French writer Sébastien Japrisot was voted one of the 100 best crime novels of all time by the Sunday Times. The narrative is structured into four disparate parts that gradually piece together in a shocking reveal that will leave readers' minds spinning long after they turn the very last page.

"A cordon bleu mixture of suspense, sex, trick psychology and fast action." - Publishers Weekly
