Olivier Norec is a writer, screenwriter, rising star of the French detective genre and, by the way, a police captain, has already found many fans. His social thriller Dead Water has won several prestigious literary awards: Prix Babelio, Prix Relay des voyageurs lecteurs, Prix Maisons de la presse, and others.
During the arrest of a drug dealer, Parisian police captain Noémie Chasten is shot in the face. Life, love, career — everything goes to hell, but then the “unsightly” employee is sent out of sight — seven hundred kilometers from Paris, to a village on the shores of Lake Avalon, into the wilderness, where nothing ever happens. Noemi will have to study the situation and decide on the liquidation of the police department. However, the situation changes dramatically when, after a storm, a village fisherman pulls out a small plastic barrel with terrible contents from the lake. Experts conclude that the bones found in the barrel belong to a child. The trail leads to the past, to the events that took place a quarter of a century ago, when the old village was flooded when the hydroelectric station was launched. It was then that three children disappeared — Alex, Cyril and Elsa. Perhaps the creepy find is associated with one of the missing. But if so, what happened many years ago and where are the other two missing? ..
