A Case of Matricide

In the quiet French town of Saint-Claude, Chief Inspector Georges Gorski is approached by a troubled young man who makes a bizarre confession: he believes he is going to kill his own mother. As Gorski navigates his own personal crises and existential dread, he finds himself investigating a crime that has not yet occurred. A Case of Matricide is the final book in Graeme Macrae Burnet’s acclaimed trilogy featuring Raymond Brunet's fictional detective. Atmospheric, witty, and deeply psychological, the novel offers a brilliant homage to classical French noir.
