Wholesale Relapse Aggravated of a Convalescent Brain

Bruno Picquet, honorary divisional commissioner of the National Police and former local judge in Saint-Nazaire, persists... and signs. After a very first book, The Child Found in a Basket (2 vols.) and new actions, he is in a state of legal and, perhaps more importantly, medical recidivism. First term of recidivism, Tribulations Inside a Tormented Brain; Second term, Aggravated Relapse of a Convalescent Brain. Seventeen short stories. Odious characters will give you goosebumps: A perverse and obsessed murderer. A disturbing secret agent without faith or law. An attractive intern behind whom hides a talented... killer. Hallucinatory anticipations will leave you speechless: To escape new apocalyptic times, you will prefer to take refuge in the throes of a third world war with nevertheless nightmarish consequences.
