A serial killer, the memory of a young singer murdered ten years earlier, groupie transvestites, a pimp, sports journalists, all these people make up the pieces and actors of a police investigation that will extend across the whole of France.
Who was Cindy Cents? Here, we dive into the world of showbiz, publishers, and record companies. Her private life, even ten years after her death, seems to be the key to this investigation where young women are killed on the eve of football matches. Always the same scenario: 6 roses and a bottle of champagne. The police are following several leads, sometimes they are just dead ends, everything needs to be started over because there is a new victim. Thus, Commander Sophie Lapon, along with Jérôme Blanchard, must study the clues and find evidence.
I Will Eat Your Heart! the title of a posthumous song by Cindy Cents is one of the keys to this investigation. With this very promising debut novel, Vincent Villa offers us a crime novel with multiple twists and turns. The victims and the culprits sometimes know each other, which makes finding the culprit(s) even more complicated.
The author describes the locations, the cities, a true tour of France inviting us to discover or rediscover the successive stages of this serial killer’s criminal enterprise. Who is or rather who are the assassins? Because there are several!
