The Ne**o

A compelling psychological thriller from the master of European crime fiction. When the body of a mysterious Black man is found near a rural French railway station, lonely stationmaster Théo believes he holds the key to the case. Seeing an opportunity to gain the importance and respect he has long craved, he becomes entangled in a web of secrets, greed and self-deception. Darkly atmospheric and sharply observed, The Ne**o showcases Simenon's extraordinary insight into human weakness and ambition, transforming a murder mystery into a haunting study of obsession and missed chances.
