Herdruk. De Parijse schrijver Jean Bosmans raakt in de ban van zijn herinneringen aan de periode waarin hij samen was met een meisje, Margaret Le Coz, dat net als hijzelf achtervolgd werd: zij door een neurotische stalker en messentrekker, hij door de roodharige helleveeg die ‘volgens de burgerlijke stand’ zijn moeder scheen te zijn. Samen droomden ze van een nieuwe horizon die niet langer door spoken uit het verleden zou worden versperd. Hun relatie eindigde abrupt toen Margaret halsoverkop de nachttrein naar Berlijn nam. Jaren later probeert Bosmans haar op te sporen. De horizon is een echte Modiano: nostalgisch tot op het bot. Overrompelend zijn de grandioze slotscènes van dit bij vlagen beklemmende boek, waarin de toekomst zich plotseling opent in het volle daglicht van de 21e eeuw – en een man samenvalt met zijn schaduw.

A writer discovers a set of notes in his notebook and sets off on a journey through the Paris of his past, in search of the woman he loved forty years previously. Set in the Montparnasse district of Paris, the author, Jean, retraces his nocturnal footsteps around the left bank during France's period of decolonisation during the 1960's. He tries to remember what brought him into contact with a gang that frequented the hotel Unic in the area. His quest through seedy cafés and cheap hotels becomes an enquiry into a woman, Dannie, whom Jean loved and who once tried to admit to a terrible crime. Over the course of several voyages between past and present, we meet various shady characters, and discover that Dannie may have killed "someone". As his memories overlap with the discovery of an old vice squad dossier, Jean reinvestigates the closed case of a crime where he could well be the last remaining witness.
