Politi og kriminalitet

Ajaccio, Bastia, Marseille, Paris, une grande table de jeu où les joueurs se font cette plaisanterie millénaire: Pile tu perds, face je gagne. Les hommes se détruisent, les générations se succèdent, rien ne change, le bisness demeure, drogue, racket, attaques à main armée, politique, tout s'emmêle mais chacun y retrouve ses petits. Rien ne va plus, les jeux sont toujours faits d'avance, les prisons se vident et se remplissent, la morgue aussi. Ainsi va la vie entre Ajaccio, Bastia, Marseille et Paris. Paul Vaysse et sa compagne Marina Costa, vont cette fois exercer leurs talents à Ajaccio, pour tenter de démêler les fils d'une histoire corse, mais la Corse, c'est un peu plus compliqué que le continent. Un paradis pour les touristes, pas une sinécure pour le commandant Paul Vaysse pour qui le soleil, la mer et le sable fin, ne compensent pas le clocher de la cathédrale de Rodez. ** cf: « Quelques mots sur un carnet » et « La maison abandonnée ».
