Charles Alavoine, a doctor from the Vendee who has strangled his mistress, struggles to explain just why he was forced to 'kill the thing he loves', why the act was rational, and why - speaking as one professional man to another - he must repudiate any suggestion of madness. 'I killed her that she might live'. Alavoine records his childhood, his two empty marriages, and the affair of almost religious intensity which finally unhinged his mind. The magistrate, he is sure, will understand. Georges Simenon is deservedly famous for his exact studies of the minds of madmen and murderers. Seldom, however, has he gone so completely into the mind of a criminal as he does in Act of Passion.* This is a NEAR VG+ copy of the 1st./1st. with minimal age & shelf wear reducing it to VG.* 1965-01-01. n.
