The bonds and wards that hold the Great Lord of the Dark are slowly failing, but still his fragile prison holds. The Forsaken, immortal servants of the shadow, weave their snares and tighten their grip upon the realms of men, sure in the knowledge that their master will soon break free . . . Rand al''Thor, the Dragon Reborn, knows that he must strike at the Enemy, but his forces are divided by treachery and by ambition. Even the Aes Sedai, ancient guardians of the Light, are riven by civil war. Betrayed by his allies, pursued by his enemies and beset by the madness that comes to the male wielders of the One Power, Rand rides out to meet the foe. And the Fires of Heaven scour the world.

The prequel novel to the globally bestselling Wheel of Time series - a fantasy phenomenon The city of Canluum lies close to the scarred and desolate wastes of the Blight, a walled haven from the dangers away to the north, and a refuge from the ill works of those who serve the Dark One. Or so it is said. The city that greets Al''Lan Mandragoran, exiled king of Malkier and the finest swordsman of his generation, is instead one that is rife with rumour and the whisperings of Shadowspawn. Proof, should he have required it, that the Dark One grows powerful once more and that his minions are at work throughout the lands. And yet it is within Canluum''s walls that Lan will meet a woman who will shape his destiny. Moiraine is a young and powerful Aes Sedai who has journeyed to the city in search of a bondsman. She requires aid in a desperate quest to prove the truth of a vague and largely discredited prophecy - one that speaks of a means to turn back the shadow, and of a child who may be the dragon reborn.

Rand al''Thor, the Dragon Reborn, is slowly succumbing to the taint that the Dark One has placed upon the saidin - the male half of the True Source. His Asha''man followers are also showing signs of the insanity that once devastated the world and brought the Age of Legends to an end. And as Rand falters, the Shadow falls across a stricken land. In the city of Ebou Dar the Seanchan, blind to the folly of their cause, marshal their forces and continue their relentless assault. In Shayol Ghul the Forsaken join together to destroy the Dragon. Rand''s only chance is to hazard the impossible and remove the taint from the saidin. But to do so he must master a power from the Age of Legends that none have ever dared to risk - a power that can annihilate Creation and bring an end to Time itself.

La jeune femme entend alors un cri qui la glace d'effroi. Elle grimpe aussi rapidement que possible l'escalier vermoulu. À l'étage, elle aperçoit son mari à genou, les mains couvrant son visage. Levant les yeux, elle voit l'indicible !
Sept corps pendus à la poutre maîtresse de la charpente. Les cadavres sont dans un état de décomposition plus ou moins avancé...
Des disparitions inexpliquées, sept hommes retrouvés la corde au cou, dans une baraque en ruines au fond des bois de Versoix, à Genève. Avant d'être pendus, ces hommes ont tous été exécutés d'une balle dans la nuque.
Règlement de compte ? Vengeance ?
Il faudra plusieurs mois au commissaire Sébastien Passard pour résoudre cette énigme tentaculaire, mêlant une loge paramaçonnique égyptienne à de terribles affaires de viols en série et de pédophilie avérée. Et alors que le commissaire pensera avoir déroulé tout le fil de l'intrigue, un ultime rebondissement viendra chambouler toutes ses convictions...
Une intrigue palpitante et sombre, qui tiendra le lecteur en haleine jusqu'à la dernière page. -
« Le rideau tombe... En coulisse et sur scène, les machinistes s'affairent au changement de décor pour le troisième acte. Les acteurs ont quitté le plateau, seul Scarpia alias Werner Wollenstein reste au sol, face contre terre. Une longue et fine aiguille est plantée dans sa nuque, il ne respire plus ! Il est mort, ce n'est plus du théâtre. » Au sortir de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, le Grand-Théâtre de Genève devient le témoin de crimes sordides. Trente années de meurtres et de macabres découvertes mettront durement à l'épreuve le commissaire Lachaux, pourtant prêt à démêler le vrai du faux, la comédie de la réalité. Après le grand incendie du 1er mai 1951, est-ce dans la Roumanie de Ceausescu qu'il faut chercher la solution de l'énigme ?...
Une enquête policière haletante entre immersion historique et grand spectacle !
-
Une archéologue genevoise connue est mystérieusement assassinée dans le sud de la France.
Il n'en faut pas plus pour que le commissaire Passard soit plongé dans une affaire ténébreuse qui va traverser les âges et le temps.
Un retour à la période cathare, puis à un groupe de résistants pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Les Fils de la Lumière, composé de frères maçons de tous horizons et de nos jours la résurgence d'un groupe de néonazis, La phalange Judica, tous descendants d'officiers SS de l'Ahnenerbe qui cherchaient à prouver la véracité des théories nazies sur la supériorité raciale des Aryens.
Sébastien Passard et ses collaborateurs auront même à craindre pour leur intégrité physique avant que la justice triomphe.
Ce roman haletant nous invite à un parcours passionnant à travers le temps et la grande histoire. -
« Pierre Racloz est appuyé contre une poutre, les yeux et la bouche sont grands ouverts dans une expression d'horreur qui fait penser au tableau de Munch, Le Cri. Une lance lui transperce le corps de part en part à la hauteur du coeur et l'extrémité est fichée dans la poutre verticale. » Au sein de la cathédrale protestante Saint-Pierre de Genève, le commissaire Sébastien Passard se retrouve confronté à des crimes sordides.
Tout porte à croire que les rivalités entre les courants de l'église réformée sont à l'origine de ces macabres découvertes. D'un côté, les fondamentalistes calvinistes, de l'autre, les protestants libéraux.
Mais ces antagonismes religieux sont-ils suffisants pour constituer le mobile de ces terribles homicides ? Dans l'ombre, une ancienne légende refait surface...
À travers les résurgences de l'Histoire, découvrez une nouvelle enquête du commissaire Sébastien Passard sur le chemin de la vérité !
Robert Jordan est né à Genève. Ingénieur en génie électrique puis responsable technique au Grand-Théâtre, il crée sa propre société de production audiovisuelle en 1986. Après L'Affaire Scarpia, Le Rituel du sniper et La Compagnie meurtrie, il nous livre ici un quatrième roman policier saisissant.
-
« Le visage est violacé et les yeux sont vitreux. La victime ouvre la bouche pour parler. Sébastien se penche un peu plus et il lui semble entendre trois fois le même mot murmuré dans un souffle :
Ambrrr...e. ».
À Genève, l'assassinat d'un diplomate et d'un historien, tous deux d'origine russe, entraîne le Commissaire Passard au coeur d'une affaire particulièrement délicate liée au contexte politique international.
Alors qu'il se rend à Saint-Pétersbourg, Sébastien doit collaborer avec un agent du FSB russe, l'ancien KGB. Il apprend alors ce qu'a été le fameux siège de Leningrad pendant la Seconde Guerre Mondiale et plonge dans le passé de cette ville, véritable décor de théâtre.
Mais en faisant resurgir l'un des plus grands mystères de la fin de la guerre, les deux enquêteurs devront allier leur force et leurs connaissances pour résoudre cette terrible énigme... Car les enjeux pourraient bien menacer la paix dans le monde.
Entre la Suisse et la Russie, entre hier et aujourd'hui, une nouvelle enquête du Commissaire Passard sur les traces du trésor d'ambre nazi. Et si l'histoire était différente ?

« Un corps est affalé sur la barrière de protection. Sur le sol, une énorme flaque de sang. [...] La victime n'est autre que le Conseiller d'État Georges Adler. Il a été égorgé. S'adressant à l'inspecteur Senglet, le commissaire Passard s'exclame :
- Mon p'tit Ronald, cette fois on va avoir toute la République sur le dos ! ».
À quatre semaines du premier tour des élections cantonales, un Conseiller d'État et un haut fonctionnaire sont assassinés dans des lieux emblématiques du centre historique de la Ville de Genève. Au même moment, un mystérieux corbeau déverse des lettres anonymes et sème la panique dans la petite république du bout du lac Léman.
Face à une affaire de corruption au plus haut niveau de l'État et à un mode opératoire machiavélique, le commissaire Sébastien Passard doit faire face ! Il devra mettre toute son intelligence, son expérience et sa connaissance de l'humain et de ses dérives pour que la terrible vérité éclate au grand jour.
Pénétrez dans les hautes sphères du gouvernement genevois entre les mensonges, les trahisons et les secrets d'État ! Une nouvelle enquête du Commissaire Passard dans les rouages de la corruption !
