The year of the Rat could well mean the end of Man.
It's Chinese New Year in Paris, the year of the Rat. Lieutenant Chim is sent to a crime scene in Normandy where the farmer and his wife were both savagely murdered. The evidence left behind points to multiple killers, that may have been acting under the influence of a new drug.
But the results of the laboratory analysis are even more terrifying and Chim becomes swept up in the very troubling world of the latest advances in genetic manipulation. His investigation first brings him to the pharmaceutical laboratory that manufactures the famous Jouv X, a miracle drug that promises eternal youth. Then, from Paris to Scandinavia, from the Defense towers to the seabed beneath the English Channel, Chim perilously follows the killers' tracks. What awaits him at the end is ultimate, diabolical horror that will threaten his mental health and the survival of humanity.
A brilliant and chilling thriller, The Year of the Rat confirms Regis Descott's strong voice in French crime fiction. Livres hebdo
