Super-Cannes
A disturbing mystery awaits Paul and Jane Sinclair when they arrive in Eden-Olympia, a high-tech business park in the hills above Cannes. Jane is to work as a doctor for the executives who live in this ultra-modern workers' paradise. But what caused her apparently sane predecessor to set out one morning and murder ten people in a shooting spree that made headlines around the world?

As Paul investigates his new surroundings, he begins to uncover a thriving subculture of crime that is spiralling out of control.

Winner of the Daily Express Award for Literature.

I can’t say I enjoyed this book, but I’m glad I read it. It took me a long time to get into and I didn’t like the narrator Paul to begin with, not that I liked him much later either. The themes of corruption and crime were interesting and allowed the reader to delve into this world, sometimes uncomfortably. I would like to read more Ballard books though, so I’m glad I got an introduction to this author.
