Synopsis

The latest literary sensation from Switzerland: brilliant young novelist Quentin Mouron (25) with his fifth work of fiction, his first crime novel, brilliantly reviewed and well received in France and Switzerland. This is the first time his work is available in English.

Breaking with many conventions of the genre, the novel holds a satirical mirror to society by entering the minds of two men at the edge of sanity. Sheriff McCarthy, a church-going family man, is trying to keep a boundary between the sordidness of his investigations and his private life. He is also trying to keep faith in human nature. But Franck, willing to kill for the sake of a good pun, dominates the story. He is a disturbing, violent, decadent character, a man always rushing to the bathroom for another line of coke, revealing the darker workings of the case with a blood curdling laugh.
