“La Manuf” collection
La Dernière Étape, between Marseille and Nîmes. A settling of scores that ends in a bloodbath. Fifteen shots and eight victims in just under a minute. A shootout that was intended to be timed, technical and geometric, before descending into chaos. Eight witnesses, eight points of view: the shooters, the cops, the bar patrons… Fates that come together for their last hours alive.
Guillaume Guéraud was born in Bordeaux and lived in Floirac until the age of twenty-four. Today he lives between Nîmes and Montpellier. He initially studied journalism and worked for various regional dailies.
The first adult detective novel by Guillaume Guéraud, who has already won the FNAC Prix des jeunes lecteurs and the Prix Sorcières for young readers.
Raw, visual writing that achieves a tour de force: bringing the individual voices of different characters to life.
A masterful narrative that skilfully plays with the “Rashōmon effect”: the fact that an event is interpreted differently depending on the individuals involved.
