Author:Georges Simenon,Ros Schwartz
'There were some weeks that were painful, nerve-racking. At the office or at home, in the middle of a meal, he would suddenly find his forehead bathed in sweat, a tightness in his chest, and at those times, feeling everyone's eyes on him was unbearable.'
During a chance meeting on the train from Venice to Paris, a stranger asks Justin Calmar to deliver a briefcase for him to an address in Switzerland. Soon this ordinary family man will become hopelessly, fatally, ensnared in a world of guilt, lies and paranoia.
Originally published in 1965, shortly after Simenon moved into the new home he had built in Épalinges, Switzerland, this chilling novel is a powerful exploration of the fragility of the human psyche.
It's no mystery why James Patterson is the world's most popular thriller writer ... Simply put: Nobody does it better.

—— Deborah MassonG.R. Halliday has created a wonderfully atmospheric and taut novel with UNDER THE MARSH. Perfectly paced and deliciously misleading, I was led down various different rabbit holes to find out what had happened, and to keep this level of intrigue is something so difficult now in this genre! Hugest congratulations.
