Hit. Run. Freeze: A Novel

At first glance, Anna Gautier has everything one could dream of: a loving family, a cozy home, a prestigious job, the respect of others. But the world she has painstakingly built over the years collapses overnight when her son ends up behind bars on the eve of his final exams. Trying to save her child, Anna confronts the judicial machine, but the deeper she delves into her son's case, the more ghosts of her own past stand in her way. Memories buried in the depths of her memory threaten to swallow up the present and herself. Seeing herself with disheveled hair and a distorted face, Anna stops. Her legs weaken, and she falls helplessly onto an unmade bed. On an ordinary, normal morning, she would already be on her way to the pharmacy, but today, since half past six, there is nothing normal left in their life. Will Anna be able to defend what is dear to her, and what will be the result of her attempt to confront a society that has shown its true face? This gripping story intertwines a family drama, a legal thriller and a deep exploration of the psychological trauma that can destroy even the most perfect life. Anna closes her eyes, she no longer cries, she just falls, this hole has no bottom, the fall has no end, she falls, falls and thinks: "They don't know where I live."
