Title: Henri Castang 07 The Back of the North Wind
Author: Nicolas Freeling​



Description:
From an Edgar award-winner, a shrewd French detective investigates murder in "a meditative, dark, ironic installment in the unconventional Castang series" (Kirkus Reviews).

Two violent murders one after another in a provincial district in France is more than enough to agitate the astute mind of Inspector Henri Castang. Especially since the first was so gruesome-he suspects the corpse has been cannibalized. The second killing leads him to a teenage prostitute whose youth and beauty can hardly mask the evil within. Soon enough Castang is questioning human nature itself, even as his investigation opens into political intrigue-and corruption that strikes a little too close to home.

"Freeling rewards with his oblique, subtly comic style." - Publishers Weekly

"Freeling writes like no one. . . . He is one of the most literate and idiosyncratic of crime writers." - Los Angeles Times
