Poitiers, France, 1979
Edith Bonelli is the leading detective at the Bonelli Agency, yet the patriarchal standards of her profession in the late 70s have relegated her to the role of her father Stéfano's timid assistant, though he is internationally recognized. But two people have disappeared under dubious circumstances in Poitiers: Commissioner Dubois, one of the first Afro-descendants to hold such an important position, and the Mayor's son, both of whom are supposedly on the run, having left everything behind to chase after a young hippie.
Poitiers represents a dark milestone in Edith's life: the pursuit of superficial and worldly happiness to heal the wounds of the Vietnam War, the desire to stop worrying about others and focus on herself... a daughter she conceived and knew from the moment she held her in her arms that she was the least capable mother in the world to give her a decent upbringing.
A private hunting club near the city where she grew up seems to offer, for a high price and only to the very wealthy, all kinds of luxuries and excesses that society would scorn if they were exposed. Yet, the local police seem to turn a blind eye. Edith cannot afford that luxury.

Marcel Pujol escribió entre 2005 y 2007 doce obras de los más variados temas y en diferentes géneros: thrillers, fantasía épica, compilados de cuentos, y también ensayos sobre temas tan serios como la histeria en la paternidad o el sistema carcelario uruguayo. En 2023 vuelve a tomar la pluma creativa y ya lleva escritos 15 nuevos títulos... ¡Y va por más!
A este autor no se le puede identificar con género ninguno, pero sí tiene un estilo muy marcado que atraviesa su obra:
- Las tramas son atrapantes
- Los diálogos entre los personajes tienen una agilidad y una adrenalina propias del cine de acción
- Los personajes principales progresan a través de la obra, y el ser que emerge de la novela puede tener escasos puntos de contacto con quien era al inicio
- No hay personajes perfectos. Incluso los principales, van de antihéroes a personajes con cualidades destacables, quizás, pero imperfectas. Un poco como cada uno de nosotros, ¿no es así?
