Dog Will Have His Day

Shortlisted for the CWA International Dagger

HOW DO YOU SOLVE A MURDER WITHOUT A BODY?

Keeping watch under the windows of the Paris flat belonging to a politician's nephew, ex-special investigator Louis Kehlweiler catches sight of something odd on the pavement. A tiny piece of bone. Human bone, in fact.

When Kehlweiler takes his find to the nearest police station, he faces ridicule. Obsessed by the fragment, he follows the trail to the tiny Breton fishing village of Port-Nicolas – in search of a dog. But when he recruits ‘evangelists’ Marc and Mathias to help, they find themselves facing even bigger game.

Reviews

  • One of today's few truly original writers of crime fiction: disturbing, unruly, droll and poetic

    The Times

  • Few contemporary crime thrillers can match Vargas's soaring imaginative flights

    Joan Smith, Sunday Times

  • This is wonderful, quirky stuff, a world away from formulaic crime fiction

    Andrew Taylor, Spectator

  • Vargas is an addictive writer whose surreal touches create a curiously solid world. Her occasional whimsy somehow turns into comment both trenchant and funny

    Jane Jakeman, Independent

  • A cool, clever, original and deeply humane crime writer

    Times Literary Supplement
