Jean-Christophe Grangé — Polars Pourpres

[Fredo]

Bonne nouvelle, la suite : sauf changement de programme, nous aurons la chance de lire en 2010 un troisième roman de RJ Ellory, auteur du magnifique Seul le Silence, publié en septembre dernier par les éditions Sonatine.



Cela sera au tour de A simple Act of Violence d'être adapté en français, ce qui fera trois romans de publiés en France à ce moment là, avec Vendetta en 2009.


Washington, embroiled in the mid-term elections, did not want to hear about serial killings. But when the newspapers reported a fourth murder, when they gave the killer a name and details of his horrendous crimes, there were few people that could ignore it. Detective Robert Miller is assigned to the case. He and his partner begin the task of correlating and cross-referencing the details of each crime scene. Rapidly things begin to complicate. The victims do not officially exist. Their personal details do not register on any known systems. The harder Miller works, the less it makes sense. And as Miller unearths ever more disturbing facts, he starts to face truths so far-removed from his own reality that he begins to fear for his life. This is a novel about trust, loyalty, and beliefs that are so ingrained which, when challenged, they leave people with nothing.
Vast in scope, A SIMPLE ACT OF VIOLENCE is an expose of the brutality of covert operations, the power of greed and the insidious nature of corruption. It is also a story of love and trust that somehow managed to survive the very worst that the world could throw at it.
To be released on October 2nd, 2008
