DARLING
Ted Darling s’apprêtait à tuer un homme. C’était la première fois de sa vie. Il avait 29 ans.
Ted Darling est un policier atypique. Il est calme, de petite taille. Il ne fume pas. Il a renoncé à la boisson. Mais c’est un agent spécial de la police armée. Il est ceinture noire dans quatre arts martiaux.
Plus tard, les circonstances le mènent à ranger ses armes pour rejoindre la police judiciaire, brigade criminelle. Sa première affaire est le meurtre brutal d’une adolescente. Son nouveau patron pense qu’il va rapidement résoudre ce crime. Ted a des soupçons.
A-t-il fait le bon choix en décidant de changer de voie ?
Ou au contraire, comme l’a mis en garde son chef dans la branche armée, va-t-il saborder sa carrière ?. `
