The Buddha's Return
1950 • 224 pages

An interesting mystery story focused on a Russian student in Paris who is prone to fits of uncontrollable daydreaming which are as if real, blurring the lines between reality and dream.

A man is murdered and the student is charged with his murder - but did he do it?

I enjoyed this book, it was an interesting read with a good pace and language. The characters were intriguing, and the genre can certainly be accurately described as noir.
