Roissy CDG, destination danger!
The band Desgranges is back!

When a charred body is found in a car on the outskirts of Charles de Gaulle airport, Zoé and Lola are far from imagining how far their investigation will take them. Conflicts between clandestine taxis and VTCs, activists installed near the runways to fight against the project of the new terminal, and political-economic struggles around the air pollution generated by aviation, these are the issues they will face.

Both a thriller with many twists and turns and an investigation into the heart of current societal issues, Terminal 4 marks the return in force of "one of the 8 French authors of detective stories that go up" (Le Parisien).

The author

A former police captain in the Paris crime squad, Hervé Jourdain is the author of Sang d’encre au 36 (readers’ prize at the VSD Grand Prix du Polar, 2009), Psychose au 36 (2011), Sang de la trahison (Quai des Orfèvres’ prize, 2014), Femme sur écoute (Grand Prix Sang d’Encre, 2017) and Tu tairas tous les secrets (2018). He now works as an analyst at the Ministry of the Interior.

Strong points

A new novel with a very tightly woven structure in which Hervé Jourdain, more than ever, gives pride of place to his two female characters, cops in the criminal brigade.
