The Patience of the Devil

Two teenagers are shooting dozens of passengers on a high-speed train. A deranged fan of Howard Phillips Lovecraft is trading in human skin. From time to time, the bodies of those who clearly died from unbearable horror are found. Across... France, seemingly sane people are carrying out mass killings. What happened? Has the world gone mad? Undoubtedly, but that is not the only answer. Behind the rampant madness lurks a malevolent will, and Ludivine Wanker, an investigator in the Paris department, will have to face the bearer of this will — and such a face cannot belong to a mortal man... In the world of Maxime Chattam, true evil is never solitary. True evil is always a conspiracy, a clever and terrifying design, the result of the joint efforts of those who knowingly or unknowingly are in league with predators. But who reveals the predators' true nature, who compels them to act? In the second novel of the 'Paris Investigation Department' series, it seems that the devil himself pulls the strings.
