With this crime novel, Antonin Varenne reveals one more time his incredible talent. He leads us in a diabolical race in which all the characters have to battle their own demons at the same time as handling the rumours which swirl around them.

2001. Parisian nights see the birth of a new monster. A serial killer attacks artists, transforming each of his crime scenes into a work of art mixing aesthetics and barbarism. Inspector Heckmann, the star cop of the moment, finds himself in charge of this high-profile case and sets out to hunt it down. But soon it seems to him that all these crimes are just a way for the killer to play with him...

The author

Born in Paris in 1973, Antonin Varenne spent his childhood in the four corners of France, then on a sailboat. After graduating from university, he became a construction mountaineer, lived in Toulouse, worked in Iceland and Mexico and, in 2005, he anchored himself at the foot of the Appalachian Mountains where he decided to write his first story on paper. Returning to France accompanied by an American woman, a bilingual child and a Mexican dog, he settled in Creuse and now devotes himself to writing.
