Le Journal
L'actu, les dossiers, les scoops, l'éthique et l'argent... Au Journal, un grand hebdo parisien, derrière la « machine à communiquer » se cachent les rivalités hiérarchiques, les déjeuners interminables, les amitiés politiques, les magouilles, les papiers que l'on défend, les petites et les grandes conférences de rédaction... Solitaire, un peu poète, Guy Larcher, responsable des pages « Idées-débat », tombe fou amoureux d'une femme inaccessible. Prise entre les haines et les passions qui animent les patrons du Journal, elle l'entraîne malgré lui dans une affaire compromettante qui lui fait découvrir sa propre ambition.
La presse et l'édition : un milieu que Bernard Maris, journaliste, romancier, économiste de renom, connaît à la perfection. Peinture cruelle du journalisme contemporain broyé par le système, perdu entre cynisme, culpabilité et vocation, ce roman caustique et insolent est servi par un déroulement implacable sur fond de délit d'initiés et de lutte de pouvoir.
