Fires under the ashes

After a fall on the rocks of the port of Brest, Bernadette Mérou finds herself amnesiac and mute. While searching in her apartment, her mother discovers her student thesis entitled “Les Exclus de la Cité,” which puts her on the trail of an old man, resident of a retirement home. As she follows the trail, she comes across a doctor, a real estate agent, a notary, a nun and an abbot and discovers two affairs, one of which could have hidden the other.
Jean-François Coatmeur features characters from news stories, greedy, incestuous, pedophiles. The victim can become an executioner, before suffering the supreme punishment: death by redemptive fire. The novelist tears off the masks to reveal the characters in full light beneath a crude and dishonorable exterior.
This author is renowned for the careful construction of his plots. His heroes are like the Breton coasts that he loves, with gentle or steep slopes but always shattered by storms. Claude Mesplède
