Remember, there are about a year of this, the author had captivated me with "The badge of lame"; seduced by the character of the prince, its history and personality disorder, I was delighted to play extra time with this novel. Betting risky but pointed bet. Thierry Berlanda had set the bar very high, but I must admit that it is here surpassed. Playing with our anxieties, our fears but also with our nerves. Now that we measure what kind of psychopath we are dealing, we are far from reassured. And the fear is at its peak when we know that patient escaped by nature. What could be more thrilling than a manhunt in the Parisian maze? The author perfectly masters its effects. All our senses are on alert for this treasure hunt that makes us both shiver and hold our breath. The prince is living up to its title swollen with pride and insatiable power. At his heels, found with happiness and excitement and Jeanne Falier. We follow them in their investigations, overgrown with the same urgency desire. Time is short, violence has no limits here. It's panting and the author seems to take pleasure in a vile bully us. Suspicion, discomfort, danger paralyzes for this con game to the unbearable pressure. Trust me, you'll struggle to let go of this novel until the very last line that will become still more your worst obsession.
