Sebastian Chrest-Jones, historien des migrations a Santa-Barbara, disparait mysterieusement de son domicile et de son labo. Est-il sur les traces d'un ancetre presume, parti en 1045 de Vezelay ou du Puy-en-Velay avec la Premiere Croisade, traversant au XIe siecle ce que l'historien moderne croit etre deja l'Europe ? S'est-il egare a Byzance ?Pendant ce temps, Santa-Barbara - lieu imaginaire, a moins que ce ne soit n'importe lequel des villages planetaires - est en pleine crise: sectes, mafias, manipulations en tous genres, sans parler d'un "serial killer" qui sevit dans la ville et signe ses forfaits d'un mysterieux embleme esoterique ressemblant au chiffre 8. Le commissaire principal Northrop Rilsky, dont les lecteurs de Julia Kristeva ont deja fait connaissance, est charge de l'enquete, aide pour ce faire par Stephanie Delacour, journaliste a "l'Evenement de Paris." Il s'efforce de ne pas y perdre completement son latin et de demeler le double echeveau de cette intrigue: l'histoire de Sebastian, hante par la figure emblematique d'Anne Comnene - nee en 1083, a ses yeux la premiere intellectuelle de l'Histoire - et l'obscur destin du tueur en serie: le purificateur, l'homme secret, etranger parmi les etrangers.Un roman des origines qui permet a Julia Kristeva, pour la premiere fois, de devoiler les siennes (bulgares). Tour a tour thriller historique, peinture ironique de nos societes modernes, "Meurtre a Byzance" raconte le destin controverse des migrants, la douleur des etrangers, les guerres qui dressent aujourd'hui encore les uns contre les autres de nouveaux Croises, avec des clins d' il sur l'actualite mondiale et parisienne, le terrorisme, une Europe inconnue, la religion et la politique, au present et au passe."
