Le Silence des survivants, A.-H. Japp

She, Sok Bopah, became Isabel Kaplan, a model American mother. He, Simon, became a grandfather full of indulgence for his grandchildren... Who could read in their lives that this woman had resisted death a thousand times in the Khmer Rouge camps, and that he had once fled Nazi concentration camps?
They, the survivors, united in silence to bury their suffering, spare their loved ones the pain of memories, offer a smooth and loving facade...
Perhaps this is why the killer who attacks Isabel's daughter, Simon's granddaughter, does not suspect that far from making them victims, he will awaken in them the worst survival instincts.
Because they have already lived in the shadow of death, because they have already rubbed shoulders with terror, Isabel and Simon, now also united in the fight, know that by searching for the culprit, it is their tormentors they have decided to annihilate...
