Description
A respected detective and expectant father, Camille Verhoeven, is pulled back into the darkest corners of his work when a brutal double torture murder shocks even seasoned investigators. As evidence links the crime to long-unsolved cases, a calculating serial killer emerges—one who seems to choreograph his violence like a work of fiction and taunts the police with letters that turn the investigation into a public spectacle. With the press closing in and the killer’s literary “rules” growing clearer, Verhoeven enlists unlikely allies to anticipate the next move, only to discover that the case has been engineered to reach someone he loves. Blending psychological suspense with sharp commentary on media, obsession, and the seductive power of storytelling, this novel delivers Pierre Lemaitre’s signature blend of momentum, moral unease, and darkly inventive plotting—where the line between author and victim becomes terrifyingly thin.
