In an unnamed city under military occupation, nineteen-year-old Frank--a low-level thug and thief--should be content enough with his warm home and full stomach, even against the dreariness of an endless winter. Instead, though, he's inexorably drawn to commit a string of brutal, senseless acts of violence.

An intrepid traveler with a profound interest in people, Simenon strove on and off the page to understand--and not to judge--the human condition in all its shades.
