THE ADVERSARY: A TRUE STORY OF MONSTROUS DECEPTION
by Emmanuel Carrere

"On the Saturday morning of January 9, 1993, while Jean-Claude Romand was killing his wife and children, I was with mine in a parent-teacher meeting at the school attended by Gabriel, our eldest son."
So begins Emmanuel Carrere's The Adversary.
Jean-Claude Romand was a failure in life. His childhood was dysfunctional, he never held a job, stole money and was constantly in a depressed state. For years, he deceived his family and friends by his charade of pretending to be a doctor at the World Health Organization. Eventually his lies caught up with him.
The book is both riveting and disturbing and true crime at its best.
