A group of school friends from the heyday of 1968 France take center stage in this racy account of horse racing, public corruption, and criminal intent. Agathe Renourd and her protégé, Nicolas Berger, are in charge of the communications network of a major European insurance consortium. Christian Deluc has become a council member at the Elysée Palace, and Amelie raises thoroughbreds. Now, in 1989, their paths cross in an unexpected fashion as events begin to spiral out of control. Racehorses die under mysterious circumstances; unimaginable quantities of cocaine appear at Parisian parties; and the dashing Nicolas Berger meets a violent end when a bomb explodes in his car. The search for resolution produces a dark ride filled with political intrigue and mystery.
By turns bleak, transgressive, sexy and quite literally unputdownable.

Dead Horsemeat
ABSOLUTELY RIVETING AND TERRIFIC! This is the second Dominique Manotti novel I've read in less than a week and it doesn't disappoint. A police procedural novel set in France in the second half of 1989. A major corporation changes direction, seeks to shift its investment portfolio more into property acquisition (given the rising prices at the time) and takes on more aggressive leadership. The web widens into money laundering, drug trafficking with a Colombian and Italian angle, government corruption, murder, and the sometimes murky world of horse racing. Taken together, they make for a rollicking, engaging, and pulse-raising experience. Reader: if you're looking for excitement and a well-crafted tale, you've come to the right novel.
