Paul Colize

Living life in the fast lane.

30 years old Fred is living different lives. By day, he works as a journalist for the online edition of Le Soir in Brussels and waits for THE story that will get him glory and recognition. Good looking, easy going and a tad showy, he likes spending time with his colleagues (especially with La Bomba) and never says no to a party involving alcohol.
By night, his life is made of gambles, risks and driving against traffic on Brussels' ring. Ever since a tragic accident has shattered his life when he was 7, Fred loves nothing more than living on the edge and feeling the excitement of danger.
But Camille, a married woman, will soon bring him the balance he desperately needs.
This life gets a new turn the day he receives a phone call, begging him to come to a secluded place where he is supposed to get explosive information. But instead of a breakthrough in journalism he finds himself confronted with the mysterious caller who has committed suicide. His investigation will put him on the track of a woman whose life had not been spared by History...

- Drive set in Belgium !
- The nervous writing gives a sense of urgency to the book.
- Beneath his casual appearance, Fred is full of flaws he reveals bit by bit. The female characters are also memorable!
- The author delivers a personal version of a little known political and historical event.
