Simple dit « oh, oh, vilain mot » quand Kléber, son frère, jure et peste. Il dit « j'aime personne, ici » quand il n'aime personne, ici. Il sait compter à toute vitesse : 7, 9, 12, B, mille, cent. Il joue avec des Playmobil, et les beaud hommes cachés dans les téphélones, les réveils et les feux rouges. Il a trois ans et vingt-deux ans. Vingt-deux d'âge civil. Trois d'âge mental. Kléber, lui, est en terminale, il est très très courageux et très très fatigué de s'occuper de Simple. Simple a un autre ami que son frère. C'est Monsieur Pinpin, un lapin en peluche. Monsieur Pinpin est son allié, à la vie, à la mort. Il va tuer Malicroix, l'institution pour débiles où le père de Simple a voulu l'enfermer, où Simple a failli mourir de chagrin. Monsieur Pinpin, dans ces cas-là, il pète la gueule. Rien n'est simple, non, dans la vie de Simple et Kléber. Mais le jour où Kléber a l'idée d'habiter en colocation avec des étudiants, trois garçons et une fille, pour sauver Simple de Malicroix, alors là, tout devient compliqué.

They agree to dig around the tree and see if something has been buried there. They find nothing but soil.A few weeks later, Sophia disappears and her body is found burned to ashes in a car. Who killed the opera singer? Her husband, her ex-lover, her best friend, her niece? They all seem to have a motive.Vandoosler and the three evangelists set out to find the truth.

Three days at the edge of the new millennium, one moment of madness and one young life's course altered forever. A dazzling new thriller from the master of noir. Antoine is twelve years old. His parents are divorced and he lives with his mother in Beauval, a small, backwater town surrounded by forests, where everyone knows everyone's business, and nothing much ever happens. But in the last days of 1999, a series of events unfolds, culminating in the shocking vanishing without trace of a young child. The adults of the town are at a loss to explain the disappearance, but for Antoine, it all begins with the violent death of his neighbour's dog. From that one brutal act, his fate and the fate of his neighbour's six year old son are bound forever. In the years following Rémi's disappearance, Antoine wrestles with the role his actions played. As a seemingly inescapable net begins to tighten, breaking free from the suffocating environs of Beauval becomes a gnawing obsession. But how far does he have to run, and how long will it take before his past catches up with him again? Translated from the French by Frank Wynne
