Description
Part fable, part tale, part story and part police investigation, Saison de porcs depicts the mysteries of a society dominated by corruption and attempted totalitarianism. A moving book: humor, cynicism, virtuosity. A torrid summer in Port-au-Prince: a police officer, Inspector Dieuswalwe Azémar, is trapped by a mafia sect known as the Church of the Blood of the Apostles who adopted his daughter Mireya. Once the formalities are completed, Mireya must leave to join her new family abroad. In the meantime, the inspector discovers the truth. He will wage a merciless fight to break the adoption contract in order to get his daughter back. He will unravel all the schemes and tackle a rotten system from the bottom to the top. He will have to fight against the police and fight against the occult forces of this mysterious island. He will also see one of his close collaborators, Colin, transformed into a pig, for having been mixed up in a shady affair. This novel, a true season in hell, brings to life the ordeal of the prophecy according to which "... almost everything, according to the law, is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness". Season of Pigs is a sublime journey into the world of voodoo and politics.
