Mauvaises fréquentations : roman  Cover Image Book Book

Mauvaises fréquentations : roman / Marcia Clark ; traduit de l'anglais (États-Unis) par Guillaume Marlière.

Clark, Marcia, (author.). Marlière, Guillaume, (translator.).

Summary:

District attorney Rachel Knight tries to find a way to clear the name of a close colleague, Jake Pahlmeyer, who died in what is suspected as a murder/suicide, while taking on his politically-charged case, involving a sexual assault against the teenage daughter of a prominent Los Angeles doctor who claims to know the identity of the assailant.
"« Qu’est-ce qu’être adulte ? Peut-être simplement ne pas être folle Pouvoir regarder la vie sans avoir envie de crier. Savoir sourire, parler en étant à l’aise, embrasser, comme si ça allait de soi. Et aussi, savoir mentir, tricher, accepter qu’un jour on meurt et vivre comme si ça ne devait jamais arriver. » On ne vit rien de sérieux quand on n’a que quinze ans. Enfant naïve et couvée par ses parents, Delphine profite de sa rencontre avec Olivia pour s’émanciper. Puis arrive Laurent, qui bientôt l’initie aux jeux de l’amour et lui prodigue les petits riens de son bonheur naissant. Elle ressent alors l’illusoire mais enivrante sensation d’enfin exister. Heureuse, mais redoutant peut-être aussi cette joie qu’elle craint volatile, elle se montre rapidement prête à tout, y compris à commettre l’irréparable... au risque d’en payer le prix : la trahison et le désespoir."-- from publisher.
