"Dry, stripped-back prose, sentences that crack like a whip, words that burn and freeze." -- Alexandra Schwartzbrod, Libération "Incardona captures the reader with the weapons of the thriller, then smuggles in a profound and ambitious novel. Not far from the satirical darkness of a Houellebecq." -- Stéphanie Dupays, Le Monde "A masterful novel that leaves you stunned, shaken." -- Bernard Lehut, RTL "More than a fresco, a contemporary epic. Dark, sharp, poetic." -- Salomé Kiner, Le Temps "A cadenced, fast, grinding prose. Luxury, lies, voluptuousness.

A fresco of greed and the ferocious commodification of the world." -- Christine Ferniot, Télérama "A language that plays with all registers, all genres." -- Christophe Ono-dit-Biot, France Culture "Incardona is the missing link between Westlake and Manchette." -- Hubert Artus, Lire "A masterpiece of dark lyricism and sensuous hardness, a compendium of human greed and fragility, an unforgettable love story." -- Isabelle Falconnier, Le Matin "A prodigious, addictive novel of absolute darkness. Merciless, unforgettable." -- Delphine Peras, L'Express "A magnificent love story. I stopped everything to read this book to the end.

" -- Gérard Collard, Sud Radio "One of our ten favourite novelists. Virtuoso." -- Valérie Gans, Madame Figaro.
