Who wants to start this novel must ignore the name of its author; Indeed, the desire to compare is natural but would be unjustified because between a polar (and first novel of the author) and the two literary novels appeared almost thirty years later; very few points can be compared.

So this third novel, which is actually the first of Mr. Guenassia, was written in 1986 (date of the beautiful Queen concert at Wembley, but I digress ...) is a police officer, amid parts poker and gambling in general; sometimes concretely, sometimes metaphorically. This is in fact the story of a man who would everything to be happy (a splendid woman, an exciting and remunerative job ...), if an addiction to gambling does imprisoned daily .
