The Death Trap

In the early morning, a train arrives in Paris from Marseille. Passengers disembark onto the platform and go about their business, but in the compartment of one of the carriages, a railway worker discovers the body of a young woman. Who needed to settle scores with Mademoiselle Georgette Thomas? What secrets do the passengers of the ill-fated compartment conceal from justice? And why do all the companions of the murdered girl die one after another, barely managing to give their testimonies to the police? "The Death Trap" is the first novel by the acclaimed master of psychological detective fiction, Sebastian Japrisot, and it is this book that introduced the future classic of the genre to the world in 1962.
