Winner of the 1990 Grand Prix du Livre de Montreal, True Copies is an evocative tale of love, loss and deception. Claire, a young Quebecoise, has been asked to retrieve a computer disk containing essential details of a potentially lucrative translation program her husband has been developing. When she discovers that the disk is missing from the research lab, she begins a quest that involves her in complicated intrigues, leading her through the Silicon Valley and into the streets of Dashiell Hammett’s San Francisco.
