Jean-Claude Grivel - The Secret of the Fir Tree

  • A fascinating and cruel drug story. The story takes place near Lake Geneva, on the borders of Switzerland, the Jura in diverse, well-painted landscapes: atmosphere and reality. Diverse characters too, men, women with cruel, naive or intelligent and willful psychology, are agitated in situations, disturbing and unexpected for the reader, full of suspense. The cold, descriptive and methodical introduction warns the reader. But the reader is far from suspecting the quantity of adventures more macabre than burlesque that await him and that he will read, devouring this original story, vigorously constructed and brushed, whose conclusion is an indictment against humanity.

    Special prize for detective novels from the International Academy of Lutèce.
