Autumn, All The Cats Return: An Inspector Sebag Mystery

Written by Philippe Georget

Narrated by Nicholas Tecosky

The second Inspector Sebag mystery following Summertime, All the Cats Are Bored: “A man like this—a cop like this—is definitely worth knowing.”—Los Angeles Review of Books

Inspector Sebag is a policeman in southern France with an unparalleled sixth sense, who excels at slipping into the skin of killers and hunting them down. However, when a retired French Algerian cop is discovered in his apartment with the symbol OAS left near his body and few indications as to who killed him or why, Sebag’s skills are put to the test. Days later, when a controversial monument is destroyed and another French Algerian is shot down, Sebag begins to put the pieces together. Bringing to light the horrors, hopes, and treasons committed during the war in Algeria fifteen years ago, in this sequel to Georget’s Summertime, All the Cats Are Bored, Lt. Gilles Sebag discovers more than just a killer, but an entire secret history that not everyone wants revealed.

“French crime writers are on a roll . . . Just savour the Gallic charm of this sizeable case for Inspector Sebag, a tenacious copper in the south of France with a sixth sense for tracking down killers.”—Financial Times

“The subtlety, the imaginative style, the brilliant dialogues, and the extremely strong subject make Autumn, All the Cats Return a crime novel not to miss.”—Black Novel

“Well structured, solidly documented, written with verve, Autumn, All the Cats Return has everything needed to satisfy even the most demanding of readers.”—UnPolar.com

[Maureen Armstrong · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Nice to be able to read French novel. Historical fiction of Algeria very entertaining written around retributions for conflict with colony. Ending enjoyable.

[Mariam Shah-Rais · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Excellent crime novel. I loved the historical background and learned quite a but about the Algerian war. It is well written and translated. The only drawback is the narration. Although the narrator is good, his phony accent which is definitely neither French nor Catalan, ruins some of the listening experience.

[Val Menzies · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I did not like the ending. The reader is left hanging, wondering if his wife really did have an affair and his strange reaction to the possibility. The characters are not really developed and the story was overly wordy, due perhaps to the translation. It was not a favourite.
