An intoxicating noir masterpiece from the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature.
One man hunts for his lost identity in this combination of psychological suspense and literary elegance. Missing Person crafts an unforgettable journey into the heart of memory, loss, and the fictions we live.
Guy Roland has lived for a decade without a past. His current self was crafted by his employer, Hutte, who originally met Guy as a client before welcoming him into his detective agency. Set against the backdrop of 1950s Paris, Modiano pulls the reader into a world where identity is always just out of reach.
