In "Les Mirages d'Adoua", a detective story with a graphic-novel feel, the discovery of a dismembered young Black woman reopens the bitter memory of Italian colonisation in Eritrea.
François Weerts has published a new book, "Les Mirages d'Adoua", described by Télérama as a polar with the look and feel of a bande dessinée. The novel is set in Brussels in the 1960s and follows detective Viktor Rousseau in his second investigation.
The case opens with the discovery of a young Black woman's dismembered body, according to Télérama, which calls the resulting plot complex. The investigation, the outlet reports, stirs up the bitter memory of colonisation in Eritrea.
