The Murderer by Georges Simenon; Translator-Geoffrey Sainsbury - 1986-10

Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1986. A stark and powerful account of one man's obsession. Georges Simenon has produced a masterful character within a masterpiece of claustrophobic horror. The story is set in a small town on the flat plains of Holland. Dr. Kuperus, a local physician, is propelled into action when he learns that his wife is being unfaithful. To make matters worse, his wife's lover is the town's leading citizen, a nobleman, witty and elegant... everything that he is not. The icy deliberation with which Kuperus prepares for action rivals the bleak chill of the world around him. An immaculate book in a price-clipped very bright dust jacket. A very nice copy.. First American Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Near Fine.
