Degré de culpabilité

La Loi de Lasko

Exclus, SDF, chômeurs : en quelques mois, Kerry Kilcannon est devenu le champion des minorités. Et le candidat démocrate le mieux placé dans la course aux primaires en ce début de millénaire.
Sean Burke, lui, n'a que mépris pour une Amérique qui, estime-t-il, a trahi les siens. Pour ce militant anti-avortement, le combat politique est vain. Seule la violence, désormais, peut provoquer l'électrochoc nécessaire.
Et le prochain meeting du sénateur Kilcannon pourrait être le théâtre de son plus sanglant coup d'éclat...
Avec ce récit d'une chasse aux suffrages se transformant peu à peu en chasse à l'homme, Richard North Patterson démontre sa maîtrise de tous les rouages du suspense.
