Every book by the acclaimed detective master Rafe Vallé is a sea of mysteries, brilliant investigations, interesting characters, and an exhilarating plot.
A young man is murdered in a truly brutal way. A principled, honest commissioner refuses to turn a blind eye to the dirty methods of an election campaign used by a politician’s aide—who is the one who committed the crime. The case even leads to the commissioner being removed from it... with a promotion—however, not in Paris, but in Montpellier, where he is to go in the near future.
Wanting to flush out the gang, the commissioner—together with his assistant—stages a “performance,” and as a result an investigation begins against them for corruption. That is why he stays in Paris.
The noose tightens around the criminal... Cornered, the killer takes his betrayer hostage…
