Simon, an architect from Lyon, loses his wife and children in an accident due to human error. Devastated, he lives haunted by the absence of his family... Until the day he decides to take revenge.

Except that the moment he sets foot in the home of the culprit, he understands that he will be unable to kill him. He has become a pathetic wreck of a man.

Simon then changes his plans: rather than killing this man, he will destroy his family.

A novel of disturbing psychological accuracy, which explores the mourning of a man caught between revenge and desire for reconstruction.

Jean-François Dupont dedicates himself to writing and travel. He excels in describing the secrets of adolescence and the staging of relationships between parents and their children. Asphalte published his previous works Villa Wexler (2021) and L’échapée (2024).
