Take a cop as lost as he is lonely, one of his colleagues who is worried about him and who trains him on the Tinder dating app.

Continue with a neighbor who drums completely drunk in the middle of the night at her door.

Add an international performer who ignites the art market, not to mention a fox, a wolf and a horse, a white Camarillo horse who broke into the heart of one of the greatest Parisian museums.

Here are just a few pieces among others of an addicting puzzle-like novel.
