About the book: 2023 / A novel in the spirit of "Fucking History" from one of the most popular authors in the detective-thriller genre in France. "I should write on your grave that you died by my hand...” It was a nightmare for Madrid Judicial Police Lieutenant Lucia Guerrero. Flashes of lightning snatched out of the darkness a large cross towering over the top of the hill. And hanging on it was her partner, Sergeant Moreira. A screwdriver was sticking out of his chest, and his body was... glued to the cross with super strong glue. Lucia cannot be involved in the murder of her partner - the law prohibits it. But with the consent of her superiors, she begins her own investigation. And he learns about a professor from the University of Salamanca who is developing a computer program to search for serial criminals. It is he who tells Lucia about several “artistic” murders that occurred many years ago. Then the bodies of the victims were also fixed with glue, and the plots of the deaths were taken from Ovid’s famous poem “Metamorphoses”... “Minière is a huge talent for storytelling and the ability to instill fear in the reader’s soul; no worse than Stephen King’s best novels.” – Daily Mail “The new king of thrillers.” – El País “Minier produces prose that is dark and poignant. And it’s so thick that while you’re reading, your fingers get stuck in it.” - Spectator "Minière's novels are prized for their brilliant suspense and the frankness with which he speaks about modern society." – Provence
