“Chisholm writes in a cocky present tense, using stylish, jazzy prose sprung straight from a 1950s noir … and entirely pulls it off.” — The Globe and Mail

“One of the best works of crime nonfiction to be published in a long time. The author’s writing is superb, the deeply compelling mystery reads like a fictional thriller, and the late-1960s setting is carefully and evocatively rendered in this masterpiece of true crime.” — Booklist, STARRED REVIEW

“A propulsive account of the so-called ‘Markovic Affair,’ a salacious murder case that touched various corners of French society. With the pacing and polish of a top-shelf crime novel, Chisholm’s account digs deep into Delon’s and Markovic’s pasts, considering whether they were friends, co-criminals, or sometime lovers, while zooming out far enough to illustrate how the press both fanned the flames of the case and inhibited its investigation. The result is an uncommonly assured work of true crime.” – Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW

“Evocative, gripping and beautifully written. I’ve recommended this book to everyone I know!” —Emerald Fennell

“A stylish, intelligent page-turner, as gripping as a thriller film script.” —The Sunday Times

“Orgies, a film star and a body in the woods – the killing that bewitched France. It's a hell of a story.” —The Telegraph

“Chisholm's gripping book takes us into a world of gangsters, violence and underworld Parisian conspiracies. It’s a portrait of an entire culture at a single moment in its history, one that is now half-forgotten. A magnificent read.” —Lawrence Osborne

“A compelling, cinematic real-life noir which reads like a novel, a story which involves sex, politics, media and France’s greatest ever film star. Read it before they make the film.” —Dylan Jones

“An engrossing book. As in A Waiter in Paris, Edward Chisholm pierces the glitter to find the city’s seamy underside. And unlike the police of the time, he seems to have cracked the case.” —Simon Kuper

“A tremendous achievement, genre-defining, sexy, supple, scary. Chisholm gets us into the heads of all the characters, with the noir of Ripley and the street style and ineffable cool of the New Wave.” —Jason Solomons

“[A] remarkable book, utterly gripping” —Mail on Sunday

“The murder in question … [is] described with a stylishness appropriate to the air of mystery and danger that Delon radiated." —Strong Words

“[An] Enthralling account of a scandal that even now seems hard to believe.” —The Irish Times

“The cast might be trashy, but this is a serious, engaging, obliquely structured book ... Much of the story is related in the voices of the participants—a neat ploy, well managed by a polished writer.” —The Spectator

“A gripping journey filled with punchy prose, film-set glamour and film‑noir sleaze.” —Readings

“Intelligent and engrossing ... Chisholm has peeled apart a murder case that became a cause célèbre.” —Winnipeg Free Press
