Spring makes a loud entrance with the latest title by Jacques Alessandra, “Panic on the 202”. Now available in all bookstores, this new dark gem promises total immersion in the mysteries of the French Riviera.
In the heart of the old town of Nice, as the final echoes of the carnival fade away, a tragedy shakes the narrow streets. The owner of the restaurant Le Palerme is found murdered, the victim of a brutal execution. The shockwave spreads throughout the neighborhood, especially since the victim, a restaurateur respected by all, seemed to lead a life above reproach. The ensuing investigation is entrusted to Coco de Nice, a tough character of a detective who stops at nothing to uncover the truth, particularly when the victim is none other than his best friend.
Jacques Alessandra immerses us in a whirlwind of intrigues, where real estate stakes and political corruption intertwine against a backdrop of the Sicilian mafia. In this fourth installment of his Nice series, the author offers us a striking portrayal of contemporary society, where each character, no matter how dark, reveals an aspect of our humanity.
Rooted in the region for decades, Jacques Alessandra draws his inspiration from his Sicilian roots and his intimate knowledge of the Riviera. A versatile author, he has already captivated us with titles such as “Fatal Concrete“, “A Holy Mess“, and “Word of Honor“.
“Panic on the 202” is much more than a simple crime novel. It is a dizzying plunge into the labyrinths of the human soul. Written with a palpable urgency and an anxious joy that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.
