A split-second decision. A terrible price to pay. " You have to keep reading until the last page, the last word, the very last full stop. It's unputdownable." -Le Pays Briard " An intense and powerful novel." -Le Point " The characters are no angels... they resemble us." -Le Point " A rare pearl. Each page has us question our idea of humanity." -Le Parisien " A novel that will have you delve into the intimacy of its' characters flawed lives." -Carrefour Savoir " Immerse yourself in the meanders of the human mind, its sense of guilt and everything else that is part of human weakness." -Le Pays Briard " A strong novel." -Tele 7 Jours When Pax, a middle-aged second-rate actor, scores an audition for a blockbuster, he is convinced fate has taken pity on him and he will finally get to spend some time in the limelight. He leaves his flat in a hurry, ignoring the alarming sounds coming from the apartment above. He is beside himself when he learns what devastating consequences his decision had: not only was his neighbour Alex assaulted and left for dead, Alex is also his girlfriend Emi's son . . . Before long, Pax is faced with an impossible choice: should he continue to deceive Emi, the one person who always believed in him, or tell the truth and destroy their relationship?
