Meeting and book signing!
Born into a family with four generations of veterinarians, Anne Villemin-Sicherman gives them a fictional successor through the investigator of her novels, Augustin Duroch, a "veterinary artist" as they were once called. This series immerses the reader in the daily life of Metz at the end of the 18th century.
In "Les disparus de germinal" (to be published by Calmann-Levy), we are in 1795. Firmin Loiseau, a carpenter and revolutionary leader, disappears during a famine riot at the gates of Metz city hall. His companion, Félicité, a young laundress, refuses to believe it is a coincidence, especially as two other men vanish the same day: the theater director and a Jacobin winemaker, all seemingly linked by a mysterious network. The mayor, Barbé-Marbois, entrusts the case to Augustin Duroch. He is soon plunged into a city riddled with royalist plots, settling of scores, and violence. Among secret passages, bodies retrieved from the Moselle, and untold betrayals, the truth proves darker than imagined.
