Pourtant, un vol audacieux va bouleverser la tranquillite de cette ville horlogere suisse ou chacun connait son voisin. Lorsqu'une parure de diamants d'une valeur inestimable disparait de la bijouterie en plein jour, le commissaire Antoine se lance dans une enquete qui le menera bien au-dela de ses convictions. Deux groupes de malfaiteurs semblent avoir cible la meme bijouterie au meme moment. Coincidence troublante ou machination savamment orchestree? Entre apparences trompeuses et secrets enfouis, ce polar suisse nous plonge dans un univers ou rien n'est ce qu'il parait. Marc et Pierre, deux jeunes hommes du coin sans histoire, deviennent les suspects parfaits. Trop parfaits peut-etre. Le bijoutier Max cache-t-il quelque chose? Son ami Joel est-il implique? Et que dire de ces mysterieux visiteurs venus d'ailleurs? Georges Paroz signe un roman policier qui explore les meandres de l'ame humaine avec une precision d'horloger. Au-dela de l'intrigue captivante, c'est un portrait sans concession d'une societe ou les apparences regnent en maitres. La Suisse des valeurs traditionnelles se fissure pour reveler ses zones d'ombre. Le commissaire Alain, personnage complexe ronge par le doute, incarne cette quete de verite qui peut conduire a la destruction. Sa descente aux enfers psychologique se mele a l'enquete pour creer un suspense haletant jusqu'a la derniere page. Un thriller qui interroge sur la sante mentale, la manipulation sociale et la fragilite des certitudes. Entre polar classique et roman psychologique, "INTERMEDE" offre une lecture addictive qui ne laissera personne indifferent. Ou se trouve la verite quand tout le monde ment? Qui est vraiment fou dans cette histoire? Roman tout public - Suspense garanti - Valeurs suisses au coeur de l'intrigue INTERMEDE - Quand la realite depasse la fiction Un roman policier qui se deroule comme un film, avec rebondissements et revelations jusqu'a la derniere ligne. L'HISTOIRE: Un vol de bijoux dans une paisible ville suisse. Quatre suspects. Deux enquetes paralleles. Une seule verite impossible a demeler. Pendant une projection de cinema intitulee "La Femme du Commissaire", Antoine et ses amis assistent a une fiction qui ressemble etrangement a leur realite. Troublante mise en abyme ou la vie imite l'art, et ou chaque spectateur devient acteur malgre lui. POURQUOI LIRE INTERMEDE? Pour son intrigue magistrale qui tient en haleine du debut a la fin. Qui a vraiment vole la parure? Les deux jeunes desoeuvres? Le bijoutier lui-meme? Son mysterieux ami? Ou des criminels professionnels venus d'ailleurs? Pour son atmosphere unique. La Suisse des montages, du froid et des silences. Une societe figee dans ses certitudes, ou les non-dits pesent plus lourd que les mots. Pour ses personnages inoubliables. Alain, le commissaire perfectionniste ronge par ses demons. Brune, son epouse qui s'eloigne. Marc et Pierre, eternels loosers au mauvais endroit au mauvais moment. Et tous ces temoins qui mentent peut-etre. Pour sa reflexion profonde sur la folie et la normalite. Qui decide qui est sain d'esprit? Comment la societe broie ceux qui ne rentrent pas dans le moule? Questions universelles posees avec justesse. Pour son final bouleversant qui renverse toutes les certitudes. Un epilogue deux ans plus tard qui revele ce que personne ne voulait voir. Georges Paroz mele polar traditionnel, thriller psychologique et critique sociale avec un talent rare. Son ecriture fluide, ses dialogues percutants et sa construction narrative imbriquee font d'INTERMEDE bien plus qu'un simple roman policier. Une oeuvre qui questionne notre rapport a la verite, a la justice et a la r Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
