The peaceful life of Spencer Ashby, a schoolteacher in a small town in New York State, is disturbed when Belle Sherman, a young woman staying at his house, is found dead. Ashby becomes the prime suspect and faces the humiliation of police questioning and ostracism from his colleagues and neighbors. Despite proclaiming his innocence, everyone believes him guilty, even his wife begins to doubt him. How long can he withstand the pressure of suspicion? What will he be capable of when he feels cornered? This novel by Georges Simenon, translated by Núria Petit, explores the limits of guilt and despair in an oppressive and uncertain environment.
