L'affaire Grégory Villemin
Le 16 octobre 1984, Grégory Villemin, quatre ans, est retrouvé mort ligoté dans la Vologne, une rivière vosgienne. Cet assassinat, revendiqué avant qu'il ne soit commis, par son mystère et par sa cruauté, va devenir l'une des affaires criminelles les plus marquantes de l'histoire judiciaire française. Nouveaux suspects, suicide du premier juge d'instruction : les innombrables rebondissements de l'enquête n'ont jamais permis d'élucider la machination familiale. Depuis plus de trente ans, Denis Robert s'intéresse autant à l'énigme qu'à son traitement. En observateur exigeant et lucide, il reprend l'enquête en conjuguant impressions personnelles et mise à distance critique pour nous livrer une vision inédite de cette histoire macabre. Une histoire dont un corbeau maléfique tire encore les ficelles...
