Summary

Don’t Turn Out the Lights: A Gripping Tale of Obsession and Deceit

You did nothing.

Christine Steinmeyer believes the suicide note delivered on Christmas Eve has nothing to do with her. But a caller to her radio show is convinced otherwise.

You let her die…

Her life unravels bit by bit. Who among her inner circle harbors such hatred to want her destroyed, and why?

Commandant Martin Servaz, on leave, receives a key card to a hotel room where an artist took their own life a year prior. He uncovers evidence of a terrifying crime. Is someone deliberately driving women to their deaths?

Both Christine and Martin are about to find out, but time is running out.

What They're Saying

Critics Review

Over the past few years, France has produced some of Europe’s most striking and original crime novelists. Bernard Minier is up there with the best - Sunday Times on A Song for Drowned Souls

Bernard Minier’s second novel A SONG FOR DROWNED SOULS confirms his status in the forefront of crime fiction’s French renaissance…A gripping read - The Times

Minier delivers yet another absorbing thriller that will keep readers guessing until the final shocking pages…will entice fans of dark, gritty Scandinavian thrillers who will find Martin Servaz reminiscent of Jo Nesbo’s Harry Hole - Library Journal on A Song for Drowned Souls

A publishing sensation in France, where it’s rushed up the bestseller lists, this is Minier’s first crime novel and this translation justifies its vast French reputation…With a villain possessing the intelligence of Thomas Harris’s immortal Hannibal Lecter, this is great story-telling, with a creeping sense of dread that would not disgrace Stephen King at his best. - Daily Mail on The Frozen Dead
