Paris, 1968: student riots, labor strikes, the Fifth Republic in danger of collapse, a new future just around the corner. In the midst of this sublime madness, young romantic Hervé discovers the corpse of a student he knows, horribly mutilated and in a pose clearly suggestive of yoga - and who better to turn to than his older brother, Algerian war veteran, cynic and cop Jean-Louis Mersch? Paris is about to erupt like a match, the streets are in turmoil, the police have no time for unknown maniacs, and the investigation is handled by three people: Jean-Louis is responsible for police work, Hervé and Nicole, also a student and friend of the murdered - for the cultural context, which Jean-Louis does not understand and does not want to understand. In his new novel, Red Karma, the recognized maestro, winner of numerous prestigious awards, and intrepid investigator of evil, Jean-Christophe Granger once again pushes the limits of the historical detective thriller genre. In this story there will be sinister sects, human cruelty, generic secrets and fragile hope. Granger leads his characters on winding paths throughout Paris, then to India - to Calcutta and Varanasi, where they will discover the terrible, blood-stained truth - and finally to the Vatican, where clues will be discovered and perhaps hope will be rekindled. These three men could have been the heroes of Paris 1968 - but no, they were the heroes of a very different story, much more gruesome and bloody.
