Rouge Karma

Synopsis of Rouge Karma

In the heart of Paris, as the V Republic falters, the body of a young woman is discovered in a disturbing yoga position. Jean-Louis, the detective, delves into the investigation, accompanied by Nicole and Hervé, friends of the victim. Together, they trace the source of evil to India, from Calcutta to Benares, unraveling an astonishing truth on the banks of the Ganges. Jean-Louis, Nicole and Hervé, could have been children of their time, but they are destined to be the architects of their own karma, a blood-red karma. Jean-Christophe Grangé masterfully transports us to a turbulent era under the influence of LSD, where complexity and paradoxes intertwine in a bloody and throbbing plot.
