And I really hope that man can be you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn a small town in western France, Dr Charles Alavoine seems to lead the perfect life—his own medical practice, two beautiful children, a new wife, and a doting mother. Yet as each quiet day of bourgeois conformity passes, Alavoine begins to feel a sharp sense of futility and solitude. Then, one rainy day in December, he meets a mysterious young woman on a station platform. Fascinated by her innocence and the scars of her past, Alavoine's passion soon gives way to obsession, as he is drawn deeper into a web of desire and deceit, ending in a terrible act that will forever change the course of his life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1947, \u003cem\u003eLetter to My Judge\u003c\/em\u003e is a masterful exploration of the darkest corners of the human soul, and a harrowing exorcism of Simenon's phantoms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47648325501164,"sku":"9780241808092","price":32.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780241808092-letter-to-my-judge.jpg?v=1779256205","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/letter-to-my-judge-by-georges-simenon-9780241808092","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
