Code 1879, un polar où s’invite la généalogie
/dans Littérature /par Florence BernardinCode 1879, de Dan Waddell, Éditions Babel Noir
Un cadavre, une inscription énigmatique, un policier désabusé… La trame du premier roman de Dan Waddell serait classique si l’auteur ne s’était pas intéressé de près à la généalogie. Partant de l’idée que le passé, même lointain, influe sur la personnalité, il affuble son héros d’un équipier de choc, un généalogiste dont les recherches vont leur permettre de faire le lien entre une affaire criminelle datant de 1879 et le meurtre, peut-être le premier d’une série. Secrets de famille et crimes du passé sont à l’honneur dans ce roman à l’intrigue originale et mené tambour battant.
A body, a mysterious inscription, a disillusioned cop… The framework of Dan Waddell’s first novel would be classical if the author wasn’t interested in genealogy. Thinking that the past influences your personality, the hero is helped by a genealogist whose research allows to connect a criminal case dating back to 1879 with the murder, maybe the first of a series. Family secrets and crimes from the past are the main ingredients of this original story.
