In this shrewd, timely novel with the allure of old-school noir, an aging boxer
and his daughter fight back against political corruption and sexual abuse.
At 40, the great boxer Max Le Corre was enjoying a renaissance, back at the top
of the ticket after a long absence. When he wasn’t in the ring, he worked as a
driver for the mayor, Quentin Le Bars. Above all, he was a father to Laura, his
20-year-old daughter who recently returned home after trying her hand at
modeling.
Quentin had helped Max when he was down on his luck, a seemingly washed-up
fighter, and now Max hoped he would help Laura find her bearings in town. But
Laura’s meeting with Quentin reveals a darker side to the politician, setting in
motion a chain of events that will pit Max against his benefactor.
With deceptively simple, evocative prose, Tanguy Viel has crafted a brilliant
takedown of the power imbalances that allow #MeToo situations to occur and
fester.
