Camille

Camille Verhoeven, Book 3

By: Pierre Lemaitre, Frank Wynne - translator

Narrated by: Peter Noble

Anne Forestier finds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time when she is trapped in the middle of a raid on a jewellers on the Champs-Élysées. Shot three times, she is lucky to survive - and morbidly unlucky to remember the face of her assailant.

Followed home from her hospital bed, Anne is in grave danger. But one thing stands in her favour - a dangerously vengeful partner, carrying the scars of devastating loss, who will break all the rules to protect the woman he loves: Commandant Camille Verhoeven.

Following the horror of Irène and the thrills of Alex, Camille is the heart-stopping final chapter of Lemaitre's multiaward-winning trilogy, soon to be the subject of a major American film.

Drawn once again into a labyrinthine web with answers ever out of reach, Camille must draw on all his talent to face an enemy who threatens everything he holds dear.

Critic reviews

Lemaitre is worthy of all the fuss. (Barry Forshaw)

Crime fiction of the highest class. (Geoffrey Wansell)

Superior crime fiction, worthy of the international attention it has received. (Patrick Anderson)

An ignoble conclusion

I love the character and so the fact that this is the last story from the detective is upsetting. Camille is an incredible character and I will miss him. The author always makes it so that you never really see the ending coming.
