An excellent new translation of one of Simenon's most beloved masterpieces.
"A certain sly, almost shameful thrill... unsettled him every time he saw a train passing, especially a night train, with its curtains drawn over the mystery of its passengers."
Kees Popinga is a respectable Dutch citizen and family man. But he discovers that his boss has bankrupted the shipping company where he works - and something breaks inside him. Kees used to watch the trains go by towards exciting destinations. Now, with a dark impulse, he boards a random train and begins a new life full of audacity and violence. This chilling depiction of a man who escapes from society and ventures into the unknown raises the question of who we are and what we are capable of doing.
"Classic Simenon... superb in the inventiveness of its power." - Independent
"What emerges is the bare human animal." - John Gray
"Read him carefully, avoid him at your peril." - Sunday Times
