This is the story of nine outlaws, working together for the greater good.
They’re friends. Yet they’ve never met.
Until one day…
It Happened At Night
The first volume in the 9 series.
Author’s foreword:
“For twenty years, I’ve been writing to see the world in colour…
To calm myself too.
What’s the point of being a writer, if not to tell compelling stories, to ask questions?
I found myself asking them on every page, so I investigated, resolute, as gripped as a reporter.
I set out to meet the real protagonists, outlaws with hearts of gold, good-natured villains, manipulators, forgers, smugglers, white-collar murderers, magnificent whores, journalists risking their necks for the truth to come out, and in the process I discovered the unspeakable.
I used to be drawn in by two characters.
This time, there are 9 of them.
I did everything I could to join their gang.
And they accepted me.
This year, there’s no need to say goodbye to them on the last page.
Because the story goes on, and it’s far from over.
Welcome to the world of the 9!”
