Pierre Lemaitre was born in Paris in 1951. He worked for many years as a teacher of literature before becoming a novelist. He was awarded the Crime Writers' Association International Dagger, alongside Fred Vargas, for Alex, and as sole winner for Camille. In 2013 his novel Au revoir là-haut (The Great Swindle, in English translation) won the Prix Goncourt, France's leading literary award.
Lemaitre is worthy of all the fuss.
*Independent.*
Crime fiction of the highest class.
*Daily Mail.*
Superior crime fiction, worthy of the international attention it
has received.
*Washington Post.*
A satisfying finis to the trilogy.
*Independent.*
This original and poignant story is the final instalment in a
trilogy that has been a dazzling success.
*Literary Review.*
Delivering more than its fair share of twists and turns, Camille is
also a beautifully naunced portrait of a most unlikely hero, and
one who's absence - if this truly is the last we'll see of
Commandant Verhœven - will be keenly felt.
*Irish Times.*
A really excellent suspense novelist.
*Stephen King.*
