Deux tonnes de cocaïne colombienne qui débarquent en 1999 dans un Boeing 727 sur l’aéroport du Bourget par l’intermédiaire d’un haut dignitaire saoudien que le gouvernement français, si l’on se permet un méchant jeu de mot, blanchira, on a du mal à y croire… C’est pourtant la thèse avancée ici, preuves à l’appui, par Fabrice Monti, 31 ans, un ancien du ministère de l’Intérieur devenu journaliste d’investigation. Si les révélations que fait ce livre s’avèrent exactes, nous avons affaire à un document explosif qui pose deux questions extrêmement embarrassantes : l’argent de cette drogue aurait-il servi au financement de réseaux islamistes ? et surtout, comment l’État négocie-t-il des scandales de ce genre, à quels fins et en contrepartie de quoi ?
The Supernaturalist
En Anglais – In the future, in a place called Satelite City, fourteen-year-old Cosmo Hill enters the world, unwanted by his parents. He's sent to the Clarissa Frayne Institute for Parentally Challenged Boys, Freight class. At Clarissa Frayne, the boys are put to work by the state, testing highly dangerous products. At the end of most days, they are covered with burns, bruises, and sores. Cosmo realizes that if he doesn't escape, he will die at this so-called orphanage. When the moment finally comes, Cosmo seizes his chance and breaks out with the help of the Supernaturalists, a motley crew of kids who all have the same special ability as Cosmo-they can see supernatural Parasites, creatures that feed on the life force of humans. The Supernaturalists patrol the city at night, hunting the Parasites in hopes of saving what's left of humanity in Satellite City. Or so they think.
Trainspotting
En italien – Un pugno di ragazzi a Edimburgo e dintorni: il sesso, lo sballo, la rabbia, il vuoto delle giornate. Sono i dannati di un modernissimo inferno « chimico », con la loro vita sfilacciata e senza scampo. Alla ricerca di un riscatto, di un senso da dare alla propria esistenza – che non sia il vicolo cieco fatto di casa, famiglia e impiego ordinario – trovano nella droga e nella violenza l’unica risposta possibile. Sboccato, indiavolato, travolgente: l’esordio di un talento letterario, il romanzo shock che ha fatto epoca e dato voce a una nuova generazione.
