Going to the Dogs

By the award-winning and bestselling author Pierre Lemaitre, hailed for masterful thrillers that blend dark humour and suspense.

1985, Paris: Sixty-three-year-old Mathilde Perrin, a decorated hero of the Resistance and a meticulous contract killer, is on one last mission — but something has shifted, and her mind begins to unravel as bodies pile up.

And anyway, who cares? All that matters is that the guy is dead, right? Mathilde’s unpredictable impulses and rising chaos threaten not just her targets, but her own survival in this darkly thrilling and wickedly funny crime tale.
