Ténèbres et sang
A. W. Rosto

September 2006, suburbs of Paris. The kidnapping of little Magali Sablon during an electoral campaign leads to an unprecedented police investigation featuring all the latest missing-children search techniques. Dozens of officers have been mobilized to find the little girl, under the iron rule of Commissioner Massard, a crafty, but poorly advised, cop who intends to stay in charge of operations, come what may.
At the same time, at the Central Office for Suspicious Disappearances, Lieutenant Volopian, a singular and ardently committed cop stuck with a trainee from the German crime investigation bureau, can’t help taking the case personally, and gradually begins to go beyond the call of duty.
As a murderer sows terror through a series of infanticides that turn out to follow an ancient Aztec ritual, the investigation into the disappearance of the young Magali Sablon becomes ever more feverish and complex. Each of the protagonists must confront their own darkest depths, in a spiral of violence from which the figure of Rosto gradually emerges.

The third volume in the Rosto series – about a secret agent from the underground Lacedemone organization. This time, he’s leading the investigation into a series of cases involving missing or murdered children. The suspense goes crescendo, the investigations overlap, the points of view are multiple: this tautly written tale is a real page-turner.
