A lawyer who specialises in French-African relations is found brutally murdered after suffering 'the torture of Father Lebrun' - a burning tyre is placed around his neck until he suffocates. The case is already explosive because of its connections to high-profile members of the Franco-African arms trade. But for Lola Jost, the case has a darker resonance - her much-loved assistant, a mixed race policeman named Toussaint Kidjo, was murdered in the same manner five years before - a crime that was never solved. Weaving in our favourite larger-than-life characters from The Dark Angel, this is a far darker story, as Lola and Ingrid become embroiled in a case that draws attention from all the wrong quarters.… (more)

Sylvain nous embarque dans une sacrée aventure peuplée de diplomates, politiciens et millionnaires aux mains sales. Plus l'aventure continue, plus l'intrigue se corse et pointe vers un imbroglio de possibilités. En général, j'ai bien aimé les personnages et le rythme effréné de l'intrigue, le mélange de complots et d'enquêtes. Il y avait parfois un trop plein de faux-fuyants qui, somme toute, n'étaient pas très efficaces car leur complexité m'ont simplement aidée à découvrir la vérité plus vite (c'était peut-être voulu?). Par contre, j'ai trouvé qu'il y avait un peu trop de personnages mineurs, qui auraient pu soit être mieux développés, soit davantage être mis en marge - j'avais du mal à tenir compte des noms secondaires et de leurs rôle. Ce roman a l'air de faire partie d'une série et l'auteur semble supposer une connaissance antérieure du lecteur.
Une lecture agrippante. ( )
