Un coup de téléphone et la vie de Manon bascule. Son frère Théo est mort électrocuté par le troisième rail du métro parisien. Au-delà de la douleur, une foule de questions reste en suspens. Que faisait Théo en pleine nuit dans le tunnel reliant les stations Père-Lachaise et Gambetta ? Quelle double existence menait-il ? Terrible accident ou crime sordide ? Une enquête souterraine dans le dédale du métro parisien et le monde clandestin du graff.

The author

Charlotte Erlih was born in 1978. A graduate of the École Normale Supérieure and holder of the agrégation in Modern Literature, she taught Performing Arts at university before dedicating herself to writing and directing in 2008. From her first short films, adapted from texts by Maylis de Kerangal, she has interwoven literature, live performance, and cinema in her work, enjoying blurring the boundaries between genres.

She has published around twenty works, mainly in young adult and children’s literature (novels, comics, picture books), including Bacha Posh, 20 Feet Underground, and The Last Wrong Note, which have won numerous awards in France and abroad.

Her debut, Funambules, was published by Grasset. In 2023, she wrote and co-directed (with M.-P. Camus) her first documentary, A French Woman in Kabul, which won the Audience Award at the Pessac International Historical Film Festival and the Terre(s) d’Histoire – INA Award at FIGRA.
