Talking to Ghosts - Hardcover

'It's above all the precise, patient and sensitive writing, along with the profoundly humane eye the author focuses on each character, which prevents the story from being merely sordid, and grant it a strange beauty' Béatrice Pellan, Le Télégramme. (Le Télégramme)

'Le Corre delivers an investigation as black as the souls of the damned, a pitch dark noir of impressive realism' Point de Vue. (Point de Vue)

'Le Corre is an extraordinary stylist, a moody and lyrical poet, often incisive and brutal, and more than anything an incredible observer of the gestures with which humanity betrays its emotion' Cédric Fabre, Alibi. (Cédric Fabre, Alibi)

With his son Pablo's kidnapping still unsolved, and his marriage ruined by the torment of hope, the brutal murder of a single mother in her own home is an almost welcome diversion for Commandant Vilar. The woman leaves behind a son, Victor, thrown into the foster system with only his mother's urn for company. Struggling with bullies, trauma and the first pangs of teenage love, Victor carries a secret that followed his mother to her grave. Struggling for leads, Vilar is shaken when the colleague investigating Pablo's kidnapping disappears. When a sadistic caller claims to have information about his son, Vilar is torn between duty and a desperate chance of redemption.
