Description

WINNER OF THE 1957 GRAND PRIX DE LA LITTÉRATURE POLICIÉREIt was fate that led her to step out in front of the car.

A quiet mountain road. A crushed violin. And a beautiful woman lying motionless in the ditch. Carrying her back to his lodging on a beach near Barcelona, Daniel discovers that the woman is still alive but that she remembers nothing - not even her own name. And soon he has fallen for her mysterious allure. She is a blank canvas, a perfect muse, and his alone.

But when Daniel travels to France in search of her past, he slips into a tangled vortex of lies, depravity and murder.

The Executioner Weeps is a macabre thriller about the dangerous pitfalls of love. Frédéric Dard (1921-2000) was one of the best known and loved French crime writers of the twentieth century.

Enormously prolific, he wrote more than three hundred thrillers, suspense stories, plays and screenplays, under a variety of noms de plume, throughout his long and illustrious career. Dard's Bird in a Cage, The Wicked Go to Hell, Crush, The Gravediggers' Bread and The King of Fools are also available or forthcoming from Pushkin Vertigo.
