Description

Le gérant de crédit d'une institution bancaire du Québec se fait enlever un soir d'été en 1977. Les ravisseurs l'emmènent à une cinquantaine de kilomètres de là, l'enferment dans un cachot souterrain et exigent de ses employeurs qu'ils paient une forte rançon pour sa libération. Les autorités mandatent un groupe d'élite pour diriger l'enquête qui piétinera pendant des mois. La stratégie utilisée soumettra l'otage et ses proches à des pressions insupportables tant de la part des policiers que de certains médias. Cette approche suscitera éventuellement chez les lecteurs et auditeurs des doutes quant à l'identité des coupables et entachera ainsi à jamais la réputation de plusieurs personnes. L'affaire sera finalement résolue par un policier, ancien gardien de prison, doté d'un sens de l'observation et d'une conscience professionnelle remarquables. Ce livre raconte l'histoire de l'enlèvement, de l'enquête et de ses conséquences telles que perçues et subies par l'otage et sa famille. C'est Pierre Marion, le fils de l'otage qui raconte l'histoire. Il a choisi de le faire à la troisième personne en changeant son nom et celui de la plupart des personnages afin que leur identité ne distraie pas le lecteur de la trame du récit et de la grande détresse vécue par les victimes.
