The house she shared with a retired director and a small family of African refugees is entirely destroyed, and she is the only survivor. For her ex-lovers, Police Inspector Chronis Halkidis and Simeon Piertzovanis, a failed lawyer and the landlord of the gutted property, her fate is a heavy reckoning.Reflection gives way to guilt, and then to a fanatical desire to uncover the truth behind the blaze and hold those responsible to account--by any means necessary. But with corruption rife throughout the force, Chronis soon finds his investigation shackled from within. Fuelled by their need for revenge, and by their twin addictions to alcohol and cocaine, Simeon and Chronis must resort increasingly to violence if they are to unmask a conspiracy that unites church and state against the interests of justice.Fiction889.34Gakas Sergios1435090Stanton-Ife Anne-MarietrlBOOK9910154666403321Ashes3592214UNINA01110nam0 22002771i 450 UON0004121020231205102146.99620020107d1930 |0itac50 bafreFR|||| 1||||AlgerEtude de géographie et d'histoire urbainespar René LespèsParisLibrairie Felix Alcan1930860 p.ill.24 cm1 carta geogIn testa al front. : Collection du Centenaire de l'Algérie (1830-1939).
