In the humidity of this Amazon jungle where rules no longer exist and where betrayal becomes the watchword, Dominique Forma delivers a novel as dark as it is scathing.
First of all, he must pass unnoticed among the escort that accompanies de Gaulle to Argentina. Once there, he must accomplish his mission. Simply, efficiently, without asking questions. Find the contact, approach the target, eliminate it. Then, still invisible, return to France. That’s when he is informed that his route will finally pass through Manaus where he is needed. In this Brazilian city speculate the old partisans of French Algeria in exile, Nazis who have fled the fall of their world, the leaders of the Latino drug cartels… There, he will have to assist a Frenchman during troubled negotiations. But the man he finds in Manaus is not a stranger. On the contrary, he is a disturbing witness to a past he would have liked to forget…
