Bird In A Cage by Frédéric Dard
On a bleak Christmas Eve in Paris, a man newly returned to his old neighborhood meets an enigmatic woman and her child in a bustling department store, only to be drawn back to her apartment and into a nightmare involving a corpse, shifting alibis, and vanishing evidence. As he staggers through a maze of lookalike rooms, coincidences, and calculated misdirection, he begins to doubt his own perceptions. What starts as a chance encounter becomes a meticulous trap that exploits his past and the season’s anonymity, tightening until a stark, noir twist snaps everything into cruel focus.
