Biography

Véronique Biefnot is an actress, painter and screen director, and lives in Brussels.

"Since the death of his wife, Simon, a successful French author, lives as a recluse with his writings, his only son, already grown, for a family, and a couple of friends. When he meets Gaëlle, his life changes. This mysterious beauty will haunt him. He seems to seduce her, but when he approaches her, she flees. Immersed in the heart of the most publicized news story from Belgium, Simon is forced to conduct an investigation in order to help the one he has fallen in love with. In his perilous enterprise, he will only have one ally ... a cat.
Between two beings, one to whom life has given everything and then took again and the other to whom it has never offered anything, an unexpected alchemy.

Then, through the pages, a small child's voice, that of a kidnapped boy, covers the story with a veil of darkness. Because it is also the story of an incredible madness at the bottom of a cave ... A dive without breathing equipment where mythology joins the daily life where the bearings no longer exist in front of an unbearable reality, impossible to deal with." (Introduction by the editor)
