Summary:

" The world as a fiction... A fiction of horror, absurdity, inexplicable madness or cruelty, we don't know, whose 'dark wind' sometimes reaches us almost in spite of ourselves. Indeed, the great narrative arcs, which structure the long time of the series, almost always have to do with the anthropological invariants of the collective imagination; sex and death, love and crime, violence and forgiveness are its major components. However, if they are often 'triggers' of serial intrigue, they are more discreet when the actual investigation begins, because one isotopy replaces another - or rather a bundle of isotopies, linked to the codes of the soap opera like those of the whodunnit... great provider, as we will discover, of lamentable loves and emotional vampires." -- Publisher's website.
