After a cut in the polar ice, a second novel in the Water element. Bernard Minier is an exceptional author in this genre literary detective-thriller, we feel a very great intelligence and a great culture, but it does not display and use it only for skillfully enrich the narrative. Writing is well-sharpened, one feels very refined and craftsmanship on every page. It is a real pleasure to see the characters of his first novel, they gain in depth and take more and more life in the pages. The moods carry us to the heart of a very cleverly constructed story, leaving us enough clues to try to unravel the mystery to the end. In short: An excellent thriller, rich and intelligent. BRAVO and THANK Mr. Minier.
