The war in Algeria is over. All wars eventually come to an end. Five years later, the couple we met in Black Algeria, police officer Paco Martínez and Irene, continue their lives; he in Marseille, she in Aix-en-Provence.
A dead body in the student dormitory will bring Paco and his partner Kupigian closer to the students and their political concerns. The world of leftists of all shades, Trotskyists, anarchists, Maoists, followers of Rosa Luxemburg, suffocates under the authoritarian regime. The police investigation leads nowhere, deaths follow one another. The underworld and the para-state, "people of silence, servants of the shadow," move in Marseille. Who is hiding behind them and what do they seek?
While "France is suffering," unmoved by the major events that shake the planet - Vietnam, the Middle East - French students decide that "they will explain their positions directly on the streets." In May '68, the belief that the past will dictate the future seems outdated.
In this context, the heroes of Maurice Attia will each go through their own Crossroads and will be saved, each with their own wounds. They draw strength from their weaknesses, seek justice and righteousness. Their voice, sometimes calm, sometimes furious, always true, confesses, denounces, demands, hopes...
Stories of adaptation and rebellion, love, camaraderie, and conspiracy, in a noir polyphonic novel with political implications, which skillfully brings the era to life and connects individual destinies with History.
