Originally read in 2008, borrowed from Granny.
Harry flees to Paris when things go wrong for him at the American college where he was teaching. Things go wrong for him in Paris when he falls ill, then moves into a dodgy room in a dodgy area, then when he takes an illegal job as a night watchman. What could have been a light in the darkness, when he meets a beautiful Hungarian translator at a party, in fact leads to things going even more horribly wrong.
This book is very atmospheric and readable for about the first 200 pages, after which a particularly daft "twist" just ruined it for me.
