Kelly’s into an adulthood devoted to her friend’s disappearance. Tracy’s until the night she vanished without a trace. Claire, Tracy and Kelly’s relationships to each other and to Détection would shape their whole lives. But some, particularly a young Brooklynite named Claire DeWitt and her best friends Tracy and Kelly, found enlightenment in his words and a calling in his craft. Many of those who still knew of Silette dismissed him as a pretentious buffoon whose life’s work amounted to an incompressible compendium of nonsense. In death, he and Détection faded into obscurity. When his young daughter Belle was abducted and he failed to rescue her, Silette shattered. In their world, Silette was a brilliant investigator whose methodology and philosophy – laid out in Détection – often baffled his peers. The above is an excerpt from the only book ever published by Jacques Silette, the long-dead French detective whose life and legacy shape the world of Sara Gran’s Claire DeWitt novels. But for now, each detective, alone in the woods, must take her clues, and solve her mysteries for herself. All knowledge will be free for the taking, including the biggest mystery of all – who we really are. I believe that someday, perhaps many lifetimes from now, all will be explained, and all mysteries will be solved.
