Nathan's journalism career is at an all-time low, as is his marriage to Sylvia. The situation is further complicated by the magnetic pull his mother-in-law, Gaby, has on him. She's not only a poet but also the owner of the newspaper where Nathan works. When a shadowy group of investors tries to buy the paper, Nathan senses his big scoop. A young woman with amnesia throws everything into disarray, and the question slowly arises: who is on whose trail? Biography (Philippe Djian) Philippe Djian, born in Paris in 1949, has frequently changed his place of residence. His previous stops include New York, Florence, Bordeaux, Biarritz, Lausanne, and Paris. It was at a highway tollbooth, while working odd jobs, that Djian typed his first novel. Back then, in the 1980s, his young protagonists were still on the road; his third novel, Betty Blue, became a cult classic. Today, his characters have settled down, but they are still searching for intensity and passion. New product
