Murder In Paris '68

'Evocative, gripping and beautifully written. I've recommended this book to everyone I know!' -- Emerald Fennell
'Highly original, atmospheric and brilliantly conceived, Murder in Paris '68, a true story, reads like a tremendous thriller: fascinating, disturbing and shrewdly compelling.' -- William Boyd
'Written more like a novel in both spare and fast-moving prose, Chisholm's gripping book takes us into the heart not just of an era but into the inner world of a single man: Alain Delon. It is, in a way the world depicted in his most iconic film, Melville's Le Samurai - a world of gangsters, violence and underworld Parisian conspiracies, whose denizens possess their own cold elegance and charisma. Consequently, it's also a portrait of an entire culture at a single moment in its history, one that is now half-forgotten. A magnificent read.' -- Lawrence Osborne
'Chisholm once again immerses himself in French culture. But this time he approaches his subject as both historian and detective... reconstruct[ing] the texture of Paris in the late 1960s. It's a hell of a story... The effect is almost cinematic... But this isn't just high-end true crime. Chisholm has greater ambitions. Murder in Paris '68, is a study of doubling and identity, The Talented Mr Ripley meets the Nouvelle Vague. The book is a masterclass in narrating how certain kinds of people and certain kinds of stories come into being.' * THE TELEGRAPH *
'This is a stylish, intelligent page-turner, as gripping as a thriller film script. Generations who have never heard of Stevan Marković have a lurid mystery to enjoy; for all ages, it is a clever reworking of a great scandal.' * The Times *
