Dans la peau d'un autre
Entre thriller scientifique et roman de moeurs, on pense à Douglas Kennedy et on se laisse emporter avec une curiosité gourmande Max est un étudiant-chercheur de 24 ans promis à un brillant avenir lorsqu'il a un malaise. À son réveil, il est dans la peau d'un scientifique bedonnant de 40 ans qui a réussi tout ce que Max rêvait d'entreprendre : il occupe le poste de chercheur pour lequel il travaillait si dur, a fait des découvertes renversantes et sort avec la petite amie de Max. Angoissant ? Oui, car derrière les apparences, Max se découvre prisonnier d'une identité dont il ignore le passé, pris au piège d'un complot qui menace tout l'avenir de la science.

j’ai eu du mal à rentrer dans le livre mais le dernier tiers de l’histoire m’a GAGGED.

One night in Paris in early summer, Max Lance, 24, a student in neurobiology, suddenly collapses, there's a black veil in front of his eyes.
On opening his eyes, Max finds himself driving a car at full speed on the highway. It's day time. The hands on the wheel though are not his, the face in the mirror neither. Max is awake but is inhabiting the body of a stranger. Even worse, ten years have passed of which he has no memory! What has caused this and is there any turning back?
An exciting, well written book, hard to put down.
A good summer read.
