Reviews
"With their tight plots, the stories are particularly cinematic, and fi lm-makers are already showing interest. Dard also wrote screenplays and plays. Their revival could be just around the corner." -- The Observer , "A tense and yearning tale set in a Paris suburb during the 1960s. . . . In "Bird in a Cage" , nobody is quite as they seem to be . . . Dard is a consummate hoodwinker: As you read along, there are apparent incongruities of plot and characterization. But like the waiter who magically whips the tablecloth from beneath a heavily laden table without disturbing any cutlery, all things are left accounted for." -- The Wall Street Journal "With their tight plots, the stories are particularly cinematic, and film-makers are already showing interest. Dard also wrote screenplays and plays. Their revival could be just around the corner." -- The Observer "Melancholy and atmospheric, with a twist worthy of Agatha Christie at her devious best, this brief tale has the hallmark of classic French noir" - The Guardian "No question: for me, he was the greatest." - Philippe Geluck "A snappy and inherently clever little thriller." -- Bookbag (one of Top Ten Crime Novels 2016) "His language is cutting, his point-of-view original and his verdict uncompromising... One of the few twentieth-century authors to win both critical acclaim and great popularity" - Solidarité Militaire "The literary descendant of Simenon and Celine" - Le Figaro "France's most popular post-war author." - L'Express "Hugely atmospheric." -- The Times "Alongside the Maigret novels of Georges Simenon there is a rich vein of period French crime still to be tapped. Frédéric Dard is a case in point." -- Daily Mail "Disturbing from the outset with strong echoes of Dard's hero Simenon." -- Sunday Times Crime Club "This short, sly novel of the night has more than enough sibstance and mystery to keep readers awake and engrossed." -- The National, "A tense and yearning tale set in a Paris suburb during the 1960s. . . .

Terrific novel, not to be missed, especially by dog lovers. Racing fan too? Helpful, but less important than the dog-thing.
