The Gravediggers' Bread

Author  Frédéric Dard Translated by  Frank Wynne
The Gravediggers' Bread

A claustrophobic thriller about love gone wrong, from the French master of noir

Blaise should never have hung around in that charmless little provincial town. The job offer that attracted him in the first place had failed to materialize. He should have got on the first train back to Paris, but Fate decided otherwise.

After a chance encounter with a beautiful blonde in the town post-office, Blaise is hooked. He realizes he'll do anything to stay by her side, and soon finds himself working for her husband, a funeral director. But the tension in this strange love triangle begins to mount, and eventually results in a highly unorthodox burial . . .
