In the winter of Algiers, Commissioner Llob faces a disturbing case. A mysterious criminal, known as 'The Scalpel Maniac', announces his crimes by telephone before committing them. Each murder is meticulously planned and signed with a black star. Llob delves into a macabre dialogue with the killer, a tragic product of desolate Algiers, in a race against time to stop the series of murders.
Mohammed Moulessehoul, better known by the pen name Yasmina Khadra, is an Algerian author living in France, who writes in French. One of the most famous Algerian novelists in the world, he has written almost 40 novels, and has published in more than 50 countries. Khadra has often explored Algerian and other Arab countries' civil wars, depicting Muslim conflicts and reality, the attraction of radical Islamism to those alienated by the incompetence and hypocrisy of politicians, and conflicts between East and West. In his several writings on the Algerian war, he has exposed the regime and the fundamentalist opposition as the joint guilty parties in the country's tragedy.
