Publisher's Summary

The public mourns when a beloved magistrate dies, a man of upstanding character who had a reputation for bringing criminals to justice. Yet when our tale’s narrator stumbles upon the man’s diary, he discovers another side to this public servant. One entry reads: “It must be a pleasure, unique and full of zest, to kill.” 

Find out why Guy de Maupassant is considered a master of the short story when you dive into this haunting tale of man’s hidden wickedness.
