Shortlisted for the CWA Crime Fiction in Translation Dagger

An award-winning urban thriller full of rage and raw emotion

In a small town just like any other, a police identity check goes wrong. The victim, Saïd, was fifteen years old. And now he is dead.

Mattia is just eleven years old, and witnesses the hatred and sadness felt by those around him. While he didn’t know Saïd, his face can be seen all over the neighbourhood, graffitied on walls in red paint, demanding “Justice”. Mattia decides to pull together the pieces of the puzzle, to try to understand what happened. Because even the dead don’t stay buried forever, and nothing is lost, ever.

MEDIA REVIEWS

A Sunday Times Crime Club Pick of the Week “An 11-year-old boy witnesses the toxic fall-out of a disastrous police identity check in which a teenager called Saïd is killed. An unflattering and upsetting picture of France today.” - The Sunday Times

“This pitch-dark French noir explores the aftermath of violence and the questions still unanswered in the wake of a teen’s murder by police… Mehdi’s writing conjures the best of French noir, and reminds us why the French named the genre.” - CrimeTime
