A tale that unravels around the character of Thomas Hogan, a 20-year-old boy who is arrested by a police officer at the beginning of the story. In only 200 pages, the reader learns how the gifted son of Mary has turned into a child killer. Stunning, moving and wonderfully written.

Cécile Coulon is an exceptionally talented 21-year-old author and her latest novel is short-listed for the Prix Livre Inter (in June). It sold over 13 000 copies in France and was warmly praised by the French press.
