Product description...

Philippe had spent his childhood idolizing his father, but also fearing him. Now he is terrified that he might have inherited the darkest depths of his temperament.

Philippe hopes that spending time with his father, who is moving to a senior residence following the suicide of his wife, will help him patch up their difficult relationship. He wants to forgive his father for his violent temper, but mostly he wants to understand his mother’s fatal deed. She often reminisced about her charmed youth and never mentioned ending her life.

Not buying his father’s claim of incomprehension over his wife’s suicide, Philippe goes back in time. Investigating his parents’ past before he was born, he discovers a dark and violent world and tracks down a man who hurt his mother when she was young.
