About this book

"Ça se passe en Belgique. Deux ados, Ralph et Tony Boulon, décident de ne pas accompagner leurs parents en vacances. Après un mois de nouba dans le pavillon familial, les deux frères se réveillent complètement dans le cirage. Ils découvrent la maison sens dessus dessous : la baignoire est remplie de vaisselle, des capotes pendent au lustre et le canari est retrouvé calciné dans le four ! Seul Bubulle, le poisson rouge, est sauvé in extremis, surnageant dans des eaux douteuses. Gros problème : les parents rentrent le lendemain et les frangins ont une touffe de poils dans la main. L'aîné a soudain une idée géniale : kidnapper une nana du coin pour faire le ménage. Mais les choses ne se passent pas exactement comme prévu, Ralph et Tony se retrouvant embarqués malgré eux dans une aventure rocambolesque. Humour noir et suspense sont au rendez-vous de ce roman jubilatoire dont on ressort essoufflé et réjoui." (www.payot.ch).

Superbly written in Robert Ludlums style. Story is about politicians creating a fictional character whom they use to manipulate global events without appearing to do so. The plot is good and the story is viewed from the Hero's view as he goes about uncovering the truth.
