After the success of The Blue Notebook, Juillard is back with a loosely linked story. After an opening of an exhibition of Victor's photography, a stranger named Abel asks him urgently about one of his photos, a picture of a long-lost friend named Tristan with a beautiful woman on his arm - a woman that Abel and Tristan had both had feelings for. Sensing that his friend might be in danger, and armed only with informatin about where the picture was taken, Abel drops everything to go find him, and is soon thrust into a dangerous web of intrigue. In full-colour throughout.
I don't read much fiction. I was not reading well enough the first time I looked through this to figure out why bad guys started popping up near the end of the book. When I woke up in the middle of the night, I was so worried about whether the plot was something Agamemnon should have been worrying about before he got in the bathtub or if the story was supposed to make more sense that I read the book a second time in the morning. The characters on the first page hardly matter for the rest of the book. It just makes the book more interesting that the story starts at a significant moment in the life of a photographer who merely decided who to take some pictures of. It is the significance of the people in the picture for everyone else in the story that was still a mystery to me, but I think I figured out as much as I will ever know.
