Meetings and book signing of "Les gens du bout" by Jallia Russiali
A thriller set behind closed doors on a fantasised Ile de Ré threatened by a devastating wave!
As the All Saints' holiday approaches, a cold-blooded murder is committed on
l'île du Bout, a tiny island off the coast of La Rochelle, torn from the mainland by
the Storm of the Century. The victim, Emile Lechevalier, was well liked by all and
nothing could have foreshadowed such a violent death. Achille LECOQ, Captain
of the Criminal Brigade, a worn-out cop about to retire, is called in to investigate.
Filled with prejudices, flanked by a zealous assistant and a troublesome young recruit, he will try
to get involved in the lives of the inhabitants of Le Bout, to unravel this story, which thickens as
the pages turn. There is no shortage of suspects. The investigation evolves into an island huis clos, made all the more poignant
by the climatic events that threaten to disrupt everything. The Wave threatens...
