after reading all the other GIEBEL, I have attacked the pavement hard and impossible to unhook 750 pages !! not a timeout, a book that returns the guts from beginning to end, one begins to love marianne has to understand it, to suffer with her and other characters too (daniel franck ....) a political world without pity, abject, and what end !!!!!!!!! very hard to recover from this book, this downward spiral for several protagonists elsewhere giebel is a genius thrillers, pure! and this book deserves the award for best crime fiction in 2010 with no hesitation !!!!!
