About this book

Suzie et son père Louis se remettent à peine de leur mission précédente qu'un certain Nicéphore Quichotte interrompt brutalement le repas qu'ils savourent tranquillement à la terrasse d'un restaurant pour les prier d'enquêter sur Gaston Grospiron. Depuis que ce prospecteur immobilier sans scrupules a racheté la majorité des maisons de la Petite Bourgade pour les louer, les incendies se multiplient dans le quartier. Nicéphore soupçonne l'homme d'affaires d'être à l'origine de ces tragédies, qui lui permettraient de remplacer les vieilles demeures par des appartements modernes et plus rentables. Or, les citoyens n'osent se mouiller, de peur des représailles, et les policiers refusent de bouger, faute de preuves. Le père et la fille acceptent de mener leur enquête et deviennent bientôt la cible des criminels, qui tentent notamment de les décourager de poursuivre leurs investigations par un attentat à la voiture piégée. Mais c'est sans compter sur le courage du tandem, qui découvre bientôt que Grospiron semble avoir des alliés haut placés ... -- Une trame légère multipliant revirements peu crédibles et scènes d'action sensationnalistes à la sauce hollywoodienne. [SDM].
