El dilema del comandante Camille Verhoeben.

Jean Garnier es un joven solitario que lo ha perdido todo: su trabajo, tras la muerte misteriosa de su jefe; su novia, en un extraño accidente, y Rosie, su madre y principal apoyo, que ha sido encarcelada. Para dar rienda suelta a su dolor, planea hacer explotar siete obuses, uno por día, en distintos puntos de la geografía francesa.

Después del primer estallido se entrega a la policía. Su única condición para evitar la catástrofe es la liberación de su madre. El comisario Verhoeben se encuentra ante un gran dilema:¿es Jean un lunático con delirios de grandeza o una verdadera amenaza para todo el país?

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Bestselling French thriller writer Pierre Lemaitre is back with an excellent new title, Rosy & John, a fast-paced addendum to his trilogy following inspector Camille Verhoeven and including Irene and Alex.

The thriller follows Jean Garnier, a lonely loser who's lost everything: his job after his boss died mysteriously; his girlfriend who was killed in a strange accident; and his mother, imprisoned recently. To scream his despair to the world, Jean sets up a mischievous plan: seven bombs hidden all over Paris and meant to explode every 24 hours.

After the first one detonates, Jean Garnier gives himself up to the police. He has one simple request: his mother's liberation or the daily explosions will continue... Camille Verhoeven is faced with the biggest dilemma of his career: Is Jean really a national threat or just a pathetic guy who's watched too much television? While the inspector tries to decipher who's really hidden behind the quiet young man, the clock ticks on to hundreds of potential new victims.
