'European fiction is the new black... Vargas is my favourite European crime writer' Peter Guttridge.
Fred Vargas was born in Paris in 1957. A historian and archaeologist by profession, she is now a bestselling novelist. Her books have sold over 10 million copies worldwide and have been translated into 45 languages.
No one writes crime novels quite like the French author Fred
Vargas... another compelling read by this most original of
novelists
*Sunday Telegraph*
Vargas has a wonderfully offbeat imagination that makes each of her
novels a refreshing delight
*Observer*
Establishes Vargas beyond doubt as a cool, clever, original and
deeply humane crime writer
*Times Literary Supplement*
It is enthralling and great fun from start to finish... all done
with great verve, wit and invention
*Scotsman*
There is a haunting quality to Vargas's writing
*Scotland on Sunday*
A rising star within the narrow field of good, intellectual crime
novels... Vargas has a marvellous way with landscape and secondary
characters
*Guardian*
It's her winning blend of empathy, humour and moral determination
that places her books in the best-seller charts
*Independent on Sunday*
Elegant plotting and misfit characters, gives US blockbusters a run
for their money
*Saga magazine*
Vargas's weightiest and most ambitious tome, but shot through with
that nervy and sardonic Gallic humour that is her métier
*Good Book Guide*
Wash This Blood Clean From My Hand firmly demonstrates why Vargas
is spoken of in such warm terms by admirers... universal in its
cutting psychology, and the personalities of her characters are
rendered with off-kilter skill
*The Times, The best crime novels of the decade*
