Set in Nice--a departure from the author's more familiar Paris--this novel evokes the bright sun and dark shadow of the Riviera. Modiano's trademark ability to create a haunting atmosphere is here on full display: readers descend precipitously into a world of mystery, uneasiness, inevitability. A young couple in hiding keeps close watch over a notorious diamond necklace known as the Southern Cross. Its provenance is murky, its whereabouts known only to our hero and heroine, who find themselves trapped by its potential value--and its ultimate cost. Deftly Modiano reaches further and further into the past, revealing the secret histories of the two even as the pressurized present threatens to overwhelm them. 650 0 $a Necklaces $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Criminals $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Nice (France) $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Searls, Damion, $e translator. 830 0 $a Margellos world republic of letters book. 941 $a 4 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20210701010724.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006111413.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180710033002.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180104061746.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BCA00222A80111E7B9D4614397128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
