«Dix-neuf secondes» is the novel by Pierre Charras, published by Folio in paperback (160 pages, in French).
Sandrine and Gabriel have been a couple for twenty-five years and, to avoid wear and tear, they invent a game: at Nation, under the code name ZEUS, she will decide whether or not to get off through the rear door of the third carriage of the 17:43 RER. The novel is a countdown of nineteen seconds: from a simple breakup it moves to a sudden and irreversible tragedy.
