Summary:
"'J'ai été aimantée par cette double mission impossible. Acheter la maison et retrouver les armes cachées. C'était inespéré et je n'ai pas flairé l'engrenage qui allait faire basculer notre existence. Parce que la maison est au cœur de ce qui a provoqué l'accident.' En un récit tendu qui agit comme un véritable compte à rebours, Brigitte Giraud tente de comprendre ce qui a conduit à l'accident de moto qui a coûté la vie à son mari le 22 juin 1999. Vingt ans après, elle fait pour ainsi dire le tour du propriétaire et sonde une dernière fois les questions restées sans réponse. Hasard, destin, coïncidences ? Elle revient sur ces journées qui s'étaient emballées en une suite de dérèglements imprévisibles jusqu'à produire l'inéluctable. À ce point électrisé par la perspective du déménagement, à ce point pressé de commencer les travaux de rénovation, le couple en avait oublié que vivre était dangereux. Brigitte Giraud mène l'enquête et met en scène la vie de Claude, et la leur, miraculeusement ranimées."--Page 4 of cover.
"'I was magnetized by this impossible double mission. To buy the house and find the hidden weapons. It was unexpected and I did not smell the gears that were going to rock our existence. Because the house is at the heart of what caused the accident.' In a tense story that acts as a real countdown, Brigitte Giraud tries to understand what led to the motorcycle accident that cost her husband's life on June 22, 1999. Twenty years later, she does so to speak around the owner and probe one last time into the questions that have remained unanswered. Chance, destiny, coincidences? She looks back on those days which had wrapped up in a series of unpredictable disruptions until the inevitable was produced. So electrified by the prospect of moving, in such a hurry to start the renovation work, the couple had forgotten that living was dangerous. Brigitte Giraud leads the investigation and stages the life of Claude, and theirs, miraculously revived."- -Page 4 of cover.
