Stanislas Moreau

Après la parution de son dernier roman, la narratrice, qui s'exprime à la première personne, a cessé d’écrire. Ce mutisme vient d’une fragilité qui se trouve amplifiée par des lettres anonymes l’accusant d’avoir fait beaucoup de mal à sa famille dans son précédent roman.

Based on a true story of a British television crew that travelled to Colombia to film a fake documentary about drug trafficking. In one scene, shot in the director’s hotel room, an actor played the part of a character whom the filmmakers passed off as Cali Cartel’s Number Three. They claimed they had risked their lives to get the interview. One sequence also shows a man pretending to swallow capsules of heroine and transporting them to London in his stomach. This phoney TV documentary is an international smash hit. When a London daily discovers that the whole thing is a hoax, a team of British journalists are sent out to Colombia to cover the story. Their report unleashes a scandal that shakes the very foundations of television in the UK.
