About this title

Synopsis

� bord de l’avion Paris-Brazzaville, Christophe, cadre dans une grande compagnie p�troli�re, reconna�t une passag�re : Blandine de Kergalec, officier de la DGSE ayant quitt� le service Action deux d�cennies plus t�t apr�s un scandale. Passionn� d’espionnage, Christophe la suit dans la capitale congolaise. Il surprend sa rencontre, dans un dancing au bord du fleuve, avec un militaire rwandais. Le jeune homme se trouve alors impliqu� dans un r�glement de comptes brutal, � multiples facettes. Par un jeu troublant de flash-backs et de points de vue altern�s, l’auteur pi�ge son lecteur dans un labyrinthe qu’il ne sera pas pr�s d’oublier.
Patrick Besson propose un tableau fascinant de l’Afrique subsaharienne, espace du romanesque intense, o� chacun consid�re autrui comme une source in�puisable de l�gendes, de myst�res, de pouvoirs occultes. Description d�taill�e et fi�vreuse de la jungle urbaine �quatoriale, thriller politique, roman d’amour et de col�re, Mais le fleuve tuera l’homme blanc se pr�sente comme l’œuvre la plus accomplie d’un auteur qui, depuis son premier livre paru en 1974, quand il avait dix-sept ans, n’a cess� d’�tonner par ses ouvrages, ses chroniques et ses engagements.
