Book excerpt: For reasons including but not limited to having a sense of humour inappropriate for a serving officer, Superintendent Taleb of the Algerian police finds himself killing time in the cul de sac that has become his career. That is, until he gets handed a ticking bomb of a cold case that only Taleb can solve. Instructed to ensure at all costs that their investigations do not re-open old wounds from Algeria's troubled past or sour relations with France, Taleb soon finds himself in pursuit of two perpetrators of a brutal murder which took place in Paris forty years before. Almost before they know it, Taleb and Hidouchi find themselves in a battle they can only win if they risk losing everything. But the weight of history is heavily stacked against them...
