Release date : 02/05/2019
In this first work of a new trilogy that explores the depths of a dark and corrupt side of Moroccan society, Yasmina Khadra excels once more in throwing light on our implacable thirst for justice.
At 30, Driss Ikker is a happy man. His wife, Sarah, whom he adores, is the daughter of one of the most influential members of the Tangier police. Their marriage greatly helped Driss’s career, and he is now a lieutenant under the command of Captain Braz, one of his father-in-law’s... At 30, Driss Ikker is a happy man. His wife, Sarah, whom he adores, is the daughter of one of the most influential members of the Tangier police. Their marriage greatly helped Driss’s career, and he is now a lieutenant under the command of Captain Braz, one of his father-in-law’s protégés. Idriss enjoys a peaceful, comfortable life in a beautiful villa, while his high-level position spares him from undesirable duties. But his life is turned upside down one evening, when, coming home earlier than usual, he is assaulted and knocked out. When he comes to, the police inform him that his wife was raped. This news plunges him into despair. Not only was he uncapable of protecting his wife, but, in the eyes of the world, they have lost their honor. While his superiors do everything to keep him out of an investigation in which he is too involved, Driss knows he will never be at peace until he can find the guilty party. So he undertakes a crazed investigation that drags him down into the most diverse places in Tangier, refined and brutal in turns. But the truth that eventually materializes is unbearable. Could Driss have guessed that the solution to his enigma would be even worse than the evil committed? With this immersion into a complex side of Moroccan society, Yasmina Khadra introduces us to the character of Inspector Ikker, whose integrity, radical spirit and charisma will carry through to the following two installments of this new trilogy.
