Martin Winckler has put together a great thriller that I can highly recommend to you all! Captivating from beginning to end, rhythmic, full of twists and turns, it has all the ingredients for a great time, even more than his originality is particularly interesting in more ways than one. Firstly, there is the pleasure Watteau judge and the coroner Charly Lhombre already present in "Death in vitro" involved here in an exciting story based on 3 different and parallel plots that make up this story to end up overlapping and offer us an unexpected fall, striking realism and particularly worrying by the realization that it needed and vital issues that it conveys our future and our future close to all. Because this thriller-truth takes place in the France of 2008, deeply shocked by the recent elections and the totalitarian and corrupt regime which has been set up, composed of unscrupulous politicians who are only puppets of all-powerful multinationals, which, behind their facade of respectability maintained by a total disinformation and systematic manipulation of public opinion, are capable of anything worse and forever reap more profits and power. Barely extrapolated vision of reality that is likely to materialize.
Despite these beneficial claws given to our society, Winckler has built a suspense without downtime, thanks to an original construction of the narrative, alternating short chapters and flashes of "surrender in the context" via press releases of the new government and a pharmaceutical multinational touting its latest technological innovations, all in a single purpose: to test large scale that will then apply our camisoles tomorrow!
