Description
This winter is going to be a rough one for Inspector Gilles Sebag, for he has discovered Claire has been cheating on him. Bouncing between depression, whisky, and insomnia, he buries himself in work. But his investigations lead him inexorably to bigger tragedies - a woman murdered in a hotel, a depressed man who throws himself from a roof, another who threatens to blow up the neighbourhood - all of them involving betrayals of some sort. Perpignan is suffering from a veritable epidemic of crimes of passion. Adultery is everywhere! And each betrayal leads to another dramatic crime.
