Karine Giebel

Collection : Récamier Noir

A darkly humanist novel in the vein of Karine Giebel's committed writing, in which shadow meets light, with a deeply moving main character.

Both will be published in France in 2024.

Being in the forefront, without a bulletproof vest and without a weapon.
To save others, at the cost of his own life.
To dedicate one’s life to helping civilians, the first victims of war.
Of all wars.
From Sarajevo to Gaza, via Groznyï, Colombia or Afghanistan, Grégory is a nurse for the Red Cross... Being in the forefront, without a bulletproof vest and without a weapon.
To save others, at the cost of his own life.
To dedicate one’s life to helping civilians, the first victims of war.
Of all wars.
From Sarajevo to Gaza, via Groznyï, Colombia or Afghanistan, Grégory is a nurse for the Red Cross (ICRC), he goes to the bedside of the victims.
Irrespective of the scars and invisible wounds left by conflicts and moving encounters.
He is driven by adrenalin and the desire to save those forgotten by the world, Grégory takes more and more risks.
Until the risks become too great.
To the point of tragedy.
Until he, too, becomes a casualty of war...

Press review
“She's considered the queen of French thrillers. Her world is black, very black, often ferocious and always brutal. For her fourteenth novel, Karine Giebel changes her approach. Her merciless pen is back, but there's no longer any question of murder, revenge or manipulation. This time, the author takes hold of reality, with a protagonist who works as a nurse for the ICRC, the International Committee of the Red Cross, practicing his profession in all the countries where war is raging. (...) As is often the case with Karine Giebel, there is little respite in these pages. Sometimes friendship, love, an evening's adventure, a little boy's smile or a walk in the mountains will soften the horror. But these moments are rare. Above all, she recounts the quintessence of war, and even more, she pays homage to those caregivers who, at the risk of their lives, do what they can to repair the irreparable.”
Laurence Caracalla, Le Figaro Littéraire

“But even if Karine Giebel plunges us into the sludge of brutalities and unimaginable cruelties suffered by civilian populations, with her there are no sordid details, no complacency towards violence. "I hate thrillers where the victims are eviscerated like in a slaughterhouse. I autopsy people when they're alive. After that, I'm not interested!" So much the better; it's this human paste that makes his books so striking.”
François Lestavel, Paris Match
