Jesse Kellerman Livres

Lorsque Ethan Muller, propriétaire d'une galerie, met la main sur une série de dessins d'une qualité exceptionnelle, il sait qu'il va enfin pouvoir se faire un nom dans l'univers impitoyable des marchands d'art. Leur mystérieux auteur, Victor Crack, a disparu corps et âme, après avoir vécu reclus près de quarante ans à New York dans un appartement miteux. Dès que les dessins sont rendus publics, la critique est unanime : c'est le travail d'un génie. La mécanique se dérègle le jour où un flic à la retraite reconnaît sur certains portraits les visages d'enfants victimes, des années plus tôt, d'un mystérieux tueur en série. Ethan se lance alors dans une enquête qui va bien vite virer à l'obsession. C'est le début d'une spirale infernale à l'intensité dramatique et au coup de théâtre final dignes des plus grands thrillers. Bien loin des polars calibrés habituels, Jesse Kellerman, styliste hors pair, nous offre ici un roman d'une indéniable qualité littéraire qui, doublée d'une intrigue machiavélique, place d'emblée le livre au niveau des plus grandes réussites du genre, tels Mystic River, de Dennis Lehane, ou L'Analyste, de John Katzenbach.

Psychological thrillers have a unique way of unsettling readers, and when two masters of the genre collaborate, the experience intensifies. In this gripping tale, deputy coroner Clay Edison faces the challenge of determining whether a death is due to natural causes or foul play.

Initially, it appears to be a straightforward case of misfortune exacerbated by alcohol and health issues. However, Rennert's daughter, Tatiana, believes her father has been murdered and persuades Clay to delve deeper into his life. As Clay uncovers unsettling connections, including the suspicious death of Rennert's colleague in a similar manner, he becomes increasingly determined to uncover the truth. This journey leads him into the darkest aspects of human nature, where he must confront chilling revelations. Clay's role as a coroner involves listening to the stories of the deceased, but this time, he finds himself entangled in a narrative that sends shivers down his spine.
