Used book – L'affaire du siècle, Marc Reveillaud

Richard, a handsome, humorous man, a lover of cinema and literature, was never able to face reality. Too much of a dreamer to achieve his great ambitions, he gradually plunged into gambling circles, casinos, and art brokering. His marriage gave him a son, Marc, for whom he has unconditional love, but whom he unwittingly draws into a lawless world.

The day Richard forces nine-year-old Marc to a poker table, he doesn't imagine that he is about to shatter his family, his values, his fortune, and his life... For years, father and son will be bound by a toxic pact and a daily life of poker games and "deals of the century" – but above all, an avalanche of debts, loans, shady dealings, lies, repeated blackmail, and distress.

When Marc, in his teenage years, understands that they are heading down a dead-end road, he embarks on a race against time to protect his father from self-destruction and save himself.

What will be the price to pay?
