«Les Hommes de paille» is the suspense novel by Michael Marshall and Jean-Pascal Bernard, published by Michel Lafon in paperback (388 pages, in French).
The novel opens with a massacre in a Pennsylvania restaurant in 1991 and a message written in blood: «Les Hommes de Paille». Eleven years later, the kidnapping of a teenager in California, the death of Ward Hopkins's parents, and a hidden note («We are not dead») connect three mysteries that seem to point to the same hidden truth.
First installment of the Straw Men series, originally published as The Straw Men in 2002; this French edition from Michel Lafon was released on April 17, 2003.
Recommended for readers of thrillers and crime suspense who enjoy dark plots about serial killers and multiple narrative threads.
