Frank ha diciannove anni ed è figlio dell’attraente tenutaria di una casa di appuntamenti in una città del Nord durante l’occupazione nazista. Freddo, scostante, insolente, solitario, Frank vuole in segreto una cosa sola: iniziarsi alla vita. E crede che il modo migliore per farlo sia uccidere qualcuno senza ragione. Con sbalorditiva sicurezza, Simenon entra nella testa di questo personaggio al limite fra l’abiezione e una paradossale innocenza, e intorno a lui fa vivere il mondo della neve sporca – la sordida scena di una città dove tutto è tradimento, rancore, doppio gioco.

She didn’t apprehend the magnitude of the wealth that would be swirling about her, either, or how the long hours and close quarters would infuse her professional relationships with intimacy.
