habituée à la philosophie nord-américaine où le travail n’est qu’un élément de l’existence parmi d’autres. Mais ce matin, tout le monde est à l’heure, car la veille l’avorteur a encore frappé. Dans sa tête, elle revoit la femme couchée sur le dos, robe de chambre remontée jusqu’à la taille, cuisses ouvertes sur un océan de sang… et toujours cet ange de plâtre en guise de signature. Elle sait qu’ici l’avortement soulève les passions. Or, ce qui la turlupine, c’est l’illogisme du tueur: pourquoi avorte-t-il des femmes qui avaient déjà choisi d’opter pour cette procédure ?The First Man: A Commandant Michel de Palma Investigation

world. But he is dragged back into the force when a case that has haunted him for a decade erupts once more. Resurfacing from Le Guen's Cave, a prehistoric grotto thirty-eight metres below sea level outside Marseilles, France, an experienced diver mysteriously gets into difficulties. Meanwhile, Thomas Autran, a serial killer with a peculiar interest in the supernatural, suffering from a dangerous form of schizophrenia, is once again on the run. Ancient cave paintings, savage murders committed according to a precise ritual: a return to the first ages of humanity, the era of the great Palaeolithic hunters. And despite the gory trail left at each crime scene, de Palma must first understand the child, the secrets of a family, a story of exploitation - and revenge - before he can track down the First Man.Doors Open
