  Washington has a new menace... a serial killer whose victims don't exist... Washington, embroiled in the mid-term elections, did not want to hear about serial killings. But when the newspapers reported a fourth murder, when they gave the killer a name and details of his horrendous crimes, there were few people that could ignore it. Detective Robert Miller is assigned to the case, and rapidly uncover a complication. The victims do not officially exist. Their personal details do not register on any known systems. And as Miller unearths ever more disturbing facts, he starts to face truths so far-removed from his own reality that he begins to fear for his life.

  " Vous chassez des ombres. Et elles vous échapperont toujours. "
  Août 1976. Garrett Nelson est shérif adjoint en Floride. Lors d'une arrestation qui tourne mal, il est grièvement blessé. C'en est fini pour lui du service actif. Suivant les conseils de sa thérapeute, Hannah Montgomery, il rejoint le père et le frère de celle-ci à Southern State, en tant que gardien au pénitencier d'État. Édifiée sur l'emplacement d'une ancienne mission espagnole située au beau milieu des Everglades, la prison est censée être d'une sécurité absolue. Et pourtant... Entre un étrange suicide et une curieuse évasion, l'instinct d'enquêteur de Nelson reprend vite le dessus. Dans ce milieu clos, cerné par une nature hostile, il va bientôt se rendre compte que les murs renferment des secrets aussi dangereux que bien gardés.
  Après Seul le silence et Une saison pour les ombres, R. J. Ellory poursuit avec ce thriller crépusculaire sa réflexion sur la nature humaine et sa part de ténèbres. Personnages d'une rare humanité, force d'émotion exceptionnelle, sens remarquable de l'intrigue et du suspense : on retrouve ici tout ce qui fait la puissance et la beauté de son oeuvre.
  À propos d'Une saison pour les ombres :
  " Du grand Ellory, dont les personnages ne sont plus des personnes mais des destins, leur futur frappé du sceau d'un passé qui poisse. "
  Le Point
  " Ellory retrouve avec cette
  Saison pour les ombres ténébreuse et glacée l'intense souffle dramatique de ses meilleurs livres. "
