Details: After many years spent at sea, Captain lannec finally manages to buy his own vessel, but not without the financial help of his in-laws, the pitards. In return, his wife insists on accompanying him on the ship's first voyage and her presence on Board makes him feel increasingly uneasy, especially after the threatening anonymous note he received before setting sail from rouen. First published in 1935, The pitards was one of the first novels SI men on wrote when he shelved his famous maigret series in order to strike out in a new direction and make a name for himself as a literary writer rather than a creator of genre fiction. This captivating evocation of life at sea revolves around the claustrophobia of Class snobbery and the tense Unravelling of relationships conducted at close quarters, powerful themes that SI men on would return to throughout his writing career.
