Les Fantômes de Berchtesgaden
Avril 1950. Un géologue, expert du pétrole saharien, est retrouvé mort dans sa chambre d’hôtel à Grenoble. Le reporter Pierre Kowalski découvre que ce décès est lié à celui du général Leclerc, le Libérateur de Paris tué trois ans plus tôt dans le crash de son avion dans des circonstances étranges. Poussé par ses mentors Pierre Lazareff et Joseph Kessel, le jeune homme mène l’enquête à Paris, Marseille, Alger, Madrid... Mais dans un après-guerre où les traumatismes et les haines sont encore vivaces, les fantômes qui le hantent depuis la Libération vont soudain prendre corps, et dévoiler le lourd secret qui le lie au général Leclerc. Mêlant subtilement fiction et réalité, ce roman construit autour d’une énigme historique authentique met en scène des figures de l’époque. Il pose aussi la question de l’éternel conflit entre la morale et l’action, au travers de personnages que l’horreur de la guerre n’a pas laissés indemnes.

A Knife in the Sky
This gritty translated novel locates the power of resistance in women, and in the pen. In A KNIFE IN THE SKY, a journalist's decision to talk and a student's desire to know puts them in the crosshairs of a murderous dictatorship. As the novel opens, Mika is dangerously engaged in the pursuit of truth during Haiti's first Duvalier regime. Nearly thirty years later, her granddaughter Junon witnesses the repressive dynasty's unravelling. Brutal, terrifying, and hopeful, A KNIFE IN THE SKY is an homage to those who have survived tyranny. Originally published by Éditions du Remue-mènage in 2015 as Femmes au temps des carnassiers, this book, like most of the author's oeuvre, is preoccupied with ...
