Cadres noirs #1

Adapted from Pierre Lemaitre's thriller novel, this opening episode of the three-part Cadres Noirs series sets a tense, cinematic tone right from its cover. A disheveled man in a bloodied white shirt is forcefully escorted by a squad of black-clad RAID officers through a crowded public plaza — the Grande Arche de la Défense looming in the background — as onlookers watch in alarm. Pascal Bertho and Giuseppe Liotti bring an urgent, grounded energy to this 2022 Rue de Sèvres release that makes it an immediately compelling read for fans of European crime fiction.
