Beyond Suspicion

Called “a marvel of grace and precision” by the French press, Beyond Suspicion is a Hitchcockian tale of marriage, murder, and betrayal. The novel opens at a lavish wedding reception in the south of France. Two pairs of siblings have become one big happy family. Or have they? When Lise is kidnapped and Henri disappears, what begins as a simple blackmail scheme turns more sinister.

Author Tanguy Viel, heir to the legacy of Simenon, has created his own literary genre in the noir tradition: thrillers with Proustian attention to detail and Freudian character analysis. Like Viel’s previous bestselling work, The Absolute Perfection of Crime, Beyond Suspicion explores moral dilemmas in poetic language rarely found in a crime novel.
