Michaël Mention returns with a new punchy novel. A literary uppercut that follows an angry father after the tragic death of his daughter in a quest for revenge between Belleville and Guyana. The unleashed road-trip of a suffering man in a shaky world.
Michaël Mention is a writer who likes to change his universe, but when he introduces us to it, it’s not for nothing. He has already made us experience the hunt for the Yorkshire Ripper in England in the 1970s or the journey of the “Son of Sam”, another American serial killer. He took us in the footsteps of the Black Panthers, this African-American rebellion movement, or in a not always brilliant world of television. He told in real time the mythical France-Germany football match in 1982.
Very different eras and universes, but always this syncopated, musical and to be honest a little rock and roll writing, which leads us today on a frantic road-trip between the underworld of French drug addicts and the Amazonian and Guyanese jungle. , in the footsteps of a man on the heels of his daughter’s murderer. A novel as addictive as a good adventure film.
” The good ones ” of Michael Mention is published by Belfond editions.
