Used book – La Vigie, Thierry Jonquet

Stupefaction in the village of Feucherolles-les-Essarts! Three days after the Armistice commemoration, on November 14, 1995, twenty residents of a housing project died in less than five minutes. "Twenty horrific, simultaneous deaths, which perhaps called for more." A year after the tragedy, the postman Marcel investigates. He discovers disturbing coincidences between the victims' lives and that of Laheurtière, the last WWI veteran in the commune who died shortly before them. What do these strange facts, which the authorities have worked to suppress, conceal? In a thrilling narrative, Thierry Jonquet skillfully blends history (the traumatic events of the Great War) and a critique of contemporary society.
