✦ Synopsis
Une jurée d’assises qui influence malgré elle l’issue d’un procès, un groupe d’enfants qui s’acharne sur un vieil homme isolé, un homme dont la poupée gonflable est attaquée, une jeune avocate qui doit défendre le chef d’un réseau de prostitution…
Dans ces douze nouvelles appartenant à l’univers de la justice, la plume incisive de Ferdinand von Schirach saisit des existences banales à l’instant précis où elles basculent, et interroge la part sombre qui sommeille en chacun de nous.
Né à Munich en 1964, Ferdinand von Schirach est avocat de la défense au barreau de Berlin depuis 1994. Ses deux recueils de nouvelles, Crimes et Coupables, ainsi que ses romans L’affaire Collini et Tabou, tous publiés par les Éditions Gallimard, lui ont valu un succès international.
