What the press think…
According to Le Parisien:
“At the border of thriller and science fiction, this very well put together series will spin cold sweats to fans. (…) The director Laure de Butler (“The Promise”) has a sense of rhythm and masters the art of playing with nerves. Vincent Elbaz is amazing as a cop anesthetized by a personal drama that destroyed his life.” 4.5/5

“The tandem works perfectly for this investigation on the edge of the fantastic which travels as far as Morocco and Canada. The staging by Laure de Butler (La Promise) is neat. We hope this is only the beginning, since the duo appears in six other novels by Thilliez.” 4/5
