The Innocence of the Damned

Karine Giebel

Beat at their own game.

After spending many years in jail, Raphael is released and soon leads his younger brother to a jewellery heist on Place Vendôme. But the initial plan goes wrong and William is seriously injured.
The fugitives end up in an isolated farm where Sandra, a vet, lives. She is taken hostage and forced to cure William.
But the boys ignore that they are in the Devils House. From predators, theyll soon become targets of a pitiless monster.

- A very dark novel, with no mercy for the characters (and the reader) in which a team of robbers haphazardly meet a psychopath. An atomic concertina!
- In the vein of Meurtres pour rédemption one of the most striking title by Karine Giébel, with common themes: imprisonment, lost freedom and pain.

Karine Giébel was born in 1971. Her first novel, Terminus Elicius (La Vie du rail, 2004) won the Marseille Detective Novel Award in 2005. It was followed by Meurtres pour Rédemption (republished by Fleuve Éditions in 2010).

"In this oppressive and closed environment, the author gives life to complex, even inhuman characters that she refuses to condemn, the reader is the only judge. We finish the book exhausted and seriously shaken up." Version Femina

"Giébel searches, and finds, maximum efficiency." Paris Match
