And my shadow undresses

Four years pass in the life of an ambitious young man from a poor family living in Paris teeming with students on the eve of 1968. Thirty years later, in sequences interspersed throughout the story, we witness the bloody outcome of an affair that has already claimed two victims. When it comes to satisfying his lust for women, he cares little about the means, to the point of recklessly entering a pact whose deadly implications will become clear only later. At once realistic, ironic, and dark, the novel combines psychological analysis, a portrait of society, and the suspense of crime fiction.
