Bleu comme l'enfer

Rate this book
Réunis par le hasard, Ned, Carol, Henri et Lili roulent à travers les paysages désertiques d'Amérique. Pour fuir Franck, flic hargneux et désespéré, pour rejoindre Lucie, hippie suicidaire, pour sortir Jimmy d'une mauvaise passe, ou tout simplement pour vivre... Au gré des rencontres et des courbes de la route, ils suivent un chemin indéterminé, parsemé de haine et de violence, mais où fleurissent, malgré tout, des sentiments qui pourraient ressembler à de l'amour. Un road novel effréné sous un ciel implacablement bleu, comme l'enfer.
