Description
When Mathieu Durey, a cop with the investigation department of the Paris police learns that Luc, his best friend and fellow officer, tried to commit suicide, he must find out why. He discovers that his friend was secretly working on a series of murders committed all around Europe, whose authors orchestrate the decomposition of the victims’ bodies based on satanic symbols. The murderers have one thing in common: they all survived a “near death experience”. Little by little, the astounding truth unfolds: the killers have been saved by the Devil and act on his behalf. Will Mathieu survive this investigation, which puts him face-to-face with the Devil? This is French master of suspense and best-selling author Jean-Christophe Grangé’s sixth novel. It has already been sold to Germany, Poland and the Netherlands. His previous books have been translated into more than twenty languages. His novel Les Rivières pourpres was adapted into a movie, directed by Matthieu Kassovitz (director of Catwoman starring Halle Berry and Penelope Cruz.)
