Description
A suspenseful novel about a “happy” society in the hands of a dictator, a mysterious disappearance, and of course, love!
“Great Garbage Collector” is a suspense novel about the adventures of an “devil hunter” in a small country called Lacuna, where a dreamlike dictator plans to make his people happy by declaring a healthy lifestyle as the national idea. And the goal seems almost already reached: sanitary-correctional camps are being built, strict birth control is being enforced, vineyards are cut down (wine is evil)—but then, in secret, a young French researcher into ancient beliefs sneaks into Lacuna, a country closed to foreigners. His plans to study the forbidden cult of the devil are disrupted by suddenly flaring love for the dictator’s daughter. To find him, all the forces of state security are thrown into action. Meanwhile, the devil’s fans prepare for the celebration of the equinox, and the dictator’s daughter disappears…
