Quand les femmes se rebellent, la démesure est au rendez-vous, et l'instinct de survie peut mener au crime. Elles sont éditrice d'un magazine people, candidate d'une émission de télé-réalité ou mère au foyer. Héroïnes parfois involontaires de leur propre vie, elles savent ce qu'elles veulent et ne s'embarrassent pas de morale quand leur désir est en jeu. Sept reines du polar sont ici réunies dans une traduction inédite. Ultra-réalistes ou franchement décalées, leurs nouvelles offrent un regard à la fois corrosif et plein d'humour sur la société contemporaine. Elles dessinent aussi, en filigrane, le portrait d'une femme étrangement familière, qui pourrait être une amie, ou peut-être une voisine. Une femme sulfureuse, indomptable, résolue - fatale.
Roderick Alleyn is back in this unique crime novel begun by Ngaio Marsh during the Second World War and now completed by Stella Duffy in a way that has delighted reviewers and critics alike.
Sofia is a lap dancer with a commendably chaotic life. She's single, occasionally shagging her ex, and pretty damn happy. Then the Angel Gabriel appears to tell her she's pregnant with possibility - specifically the new Messiah. Second coming with no coming in the first place. Sofia doesn't own a watch let alone a biological clock - but there's no denying she's pregnant. She falls out with her ex and falls in love with Gabriel. Who's falling too. The world may well want a new saviour, but this time the perfect mother is feeling less than magnificent about the prospect.
