Une tenebreuse affaire
A wonderful book about class envy and police informers in the years of the French Revolution. Une tenebreuse affaire, published in 1972 as A Murky Business, in a translation by Herbert Hunt, is now out of print. The book stands out both as social criticism and as an excellent story.

Recommended by Tony Outhwaite.
