Keywords Geopolitics
A roman noir set against a geopolitical backdrop written by a Le Monde correspondent and Donbass specialist.

Winter 2018. Avdiïvka, on the front line of Donbass. War has been raging at the foot of the slag heaps for four years now. No one even remembers how it all began. Heroism and ethical values have long since given way to habitual conflict – namely ongoing bombardments and petty trafficking. But when children are brutally murdered, even Colonel Henrik Kavadze, the imperturbable local police chief, loses his cool. He throws himself heart and soul into an investigation that soon reawakens the demons of the past.
