This is one of roman durs, or 'hard novels' as Simenon liked to called them to distinguish them from Maigret's novels. Written in confessional tone, almost like a 140 pages of letter to judge, it tells a story of a troubled man and his affair with some woman who he ultimately killed. Everything he did and not did appear in his letters, like he is confessing all of his sins to unknown judge, and at the end of the novel he kills himself in his cell.

My first crime short story collection is soon to be released
Many years of studying and reading crime fiction compelled me to write my own crime book. It is mostly detective stories mixed with surrealism, black humor, horror and fantasy. Thanks to Boban Knežević for making this come through.
