“A book you read in a single sitting” (Le Magazine Littéraire), here is a “story worthy of Hitchcock” (Paris Vogue), from one of the most promising French novelists to emerge since Michel Houellebecq
—FEMINA
A master of style and suspense, Viel explores moral dilemmas in poetic language rarely found in a crime novel. Called “a marvel of grace and precision” by the French press, Beyond Suspicion is a story of marriage, murder, and double-crosses.
Set in the south of France where the stakes are high and no one is beyond suspicion, this Hitchcockian tale presents siblings and lovers in constantly shifting configurations. The grace and precision of Viel’s language are eloquently captured by prizewinning translator Linda Coverdale’s lyrical prose.
Born in 1973, Tanguy Viel lives in Nantes. He is the author of Black Note, Cinema, and The Absolute Perfection of Crime (The New Press). Linda Coverdale has translated Jean Echenoz’s Ravel (The New Press), among many other books. She won the 2004 Impac Prize for Tahar Ben Jelloun’s This Blinding Absence of Light (The New Press) and the French American Foundation’s Translation Prize in 1997. She lives in Brooklyn, New York.
