Michael White Livres

Oxford, 2006. Une jeune femme est retrouvée sauvagement assassinée, la gorge tranchée. En lieu et place de son cœur luit une pièce d'or ancienne. Vingt-quatre heures plus tard, une nouvelle victime est découverte. Le mode opératoire est identique. Mais cette fois c'est son cerveau qu'on a retiré et remplacé par une pièce d'argent. Tandis que l'enquête officielle piétine, Philip Bainbridge, photographe de la police, et son amie Laura Niven, ex-journaliste criminelle, font le lien avec des meurtres rituels commis au XVIIe siècle. Cette piste les mène à un groupe d'alchimistes organisé autour d'un des savants les plus célèbres de l'époque, sir Isaac Newton. Prise dans un engrenage infernal qui met en danger ses proches, Laura comprend qu'elle est la seule personne capable de réécrire l'histoire. Et d'empêcher l'assassin de frapper une fois de plus. Sous la plume experte de Michael White, science, histoire et occultisme se fondent en un thriller haletant hanté par la personnalité complexe d'Isaac Newton. Une plongée dans les souterrains d'Oxford qui lève le voile sur les mystères de l'alchimie.
