Every murder has many facets…

After arresting a serial rapist, Sevran is called to an unusual crime scene. And it is on this new investigation that the commander of the DRPJ of Versailles is going to find her colleague and friend, Pierre Biolet, who recently left the SRPJ of Clermont-Ferrand to join her in this wealthy part of the Parisian region.
Together, they examine the premises, including the corpse of Victor Bardier, a jeweller in the faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris. His body, discovered bathed in blood by his cleaning lady, is lacerated with deep wounds. And the victim’s wife is nowhere to be found…

Bibliography

Des poignards dans les sourires (2019)

Strong points

A perfect balance between the procedural thriller, with a determined cop, and the atmospheric thriller, which makes us evolve with talent in the heart of Versailles Left Bank, all against a backdrop of international trafficking in the very closed environment of diamond dealers.
