Coles 1909 - The Darkness of Reunion Island at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Réunion Island, January 1909. When Sergeant Lucien Morel arrives in Saint-Denis, he knows nothing about this island lost in the Indian Ocean. He was promised a routine assignment. He discovers a territory on edge, terrorized countryside, and nights that no one dares to venture through anymore. In the south, houses open silently. The dogs do not bark. Families sleep a leaden sleep from which they emerge in the morning to find the void left by invisible hands. Then come the dead-murdered in their beds, without a struggle, without a scream, as if struck down in their sleep. Behind these crimes of chilling precision, a name is whispered. Saint-Ange Gardien. A respected herbalist. A healer consulted by all. A man whom no one accuses directly. A man whom no one dares to name. For here, the night sees everything. Inspired by the Sitarane affair , the greatest criminal scandal in the history of Réunion, this noir novel plunges into the heart of an island where colonial fear, Creole beliefs, and the cunning of evil intertwine in a pact of blood and silence. Some darkness does not come from the night. It comes from the men who know it better than anyone else. PHIL MORRISON
