The Lady in the Car with Glasses and a Gun

The Lady in the Car with Glasses and a Gun by Sébastien Japrisot is a classic psychological thriller set against the atmosphere of 1960s Parisian noir.

Driving south on an impulsive road trip, Dany encounters strangers who insist they recognise her from the previous day. But how can that be?
