my link text">La liste de Fannet BY jacques koskas

Dans La liste de Fannet, Jacques Koskas orchestre une enquête qui ressemble à une traversée intérieure, troublante et hypnotique.
Chaque scène de crime, conçue comme une installation d’art contemporain aux accents macabres, devient un langage secret à déchiffrer.
Le commandant Mangin, pris entre la traque du meurtrier et le retour incandescent de souvenirs d’enfance refoulés, vacille au bord de sa propre vérité.
Guidé par les énigmatiques « équivalences symboliques », il comprend que certaines blessures ne se résolvent pas, elles se révèlent.
Un roman rare, où le frisson du crime épouse la profondeur d’une quête intime et bouleversante.
