Dès le premier meurtre, épouvantable et déroutant, Camille Verhoeven comprend que cette affaire ne ressemblera à aucune autre. Et il a raison. D’autres crimes se révèlent, horribles, gratuits... La presse, le juge, le préfet se déchaînent bientôt contre la « méthode Verhoeven ». Policier atypique, le commandant Verhoeven ne craint pas les affaires hors normes mais celle-ci va le placer totalement seul face à un assassin qui semble avoir tout prévu. Jusque dans le moindre détail. Jusqu’à la vie même de Camille qui n’échappera pas au spectacle terrible que le tueur a pris tant de soin à organiser, dans les règles de l’art... Prix Cognac, 2006.
