Early in the morning a train arrives in Paris from Marseille. Passengers go out onto the platform and go about their business, but in the compartment of one of the cars, a railway employee discovers the body of a young woman. Who needed to settle scores with Mademoiselle Georgette Thomas? What secrets are the passengers of the ill-fated compartment hiding from justice? And why do all the fellow travelers of the murdered girl die one after another, barely having time to testify to the police? “Suicide compartment” is the first novel by the recognized master of psychological detective Sébastien Japrizo; it was this book that in 1962 revealed to the world the name of the future classic of the genre.
