Carroge - Book 2. Fishing for Souls

A series of murders following a religious ritual shake the Paris region while numerous strange phenomena cause panic in Africa and America... Biblical historian Pierre Demange calls on a private detective friend with questionable methods to help him in his search for an ancient manuscript and protect him from the psychopath who marks his victims on their foreheads with the number 666. Lieutenant Martin Delpech of the Judicial Police is doing his best to tighten his grip on the murderer, but he is convinced that he will strike again...
Discover the second volume of one of Lieutenant Delpech's investigations, as he attempts to unravel the devil's clues. WHAT THE CRITICS THINKPassionate about the subject of the creation of the Gospels, as he explains at the end of the book, Gilbert Laporte uses this subject to create an original and very well-crafted plot, on a theme that has already been explored several times, around the psychology of the murderer, and greed in particular.
A very good first novel with fluid writing but also dynamic when necessary.
