His favorite quote:

“The intoxication of triumph.

It's exhilarating, I also had my share of this arrogance.

Why this book?

  • Because the plot is very gripping,

    worthy of an action series.

    However, it is inspired by real events.

  • Because the turnarounds are unpredictable

    and keep the reader in suspense, from beginning to end.

  • Because the characters are all fascinating

    and easily identifiable, each of them occupies a specific role and contributes to the creation of a well-organized canvas.

  • Because the pen of the author is effective.

    Thanks to precise descriptions and a language as detailed as it is elegant, the writer knows how to put powerful words at the right time.

    The timing is always right.
