  • "L'histoire d'un retour. Après vingt années passées à Montréal et Miami, l'auteur rentre chez lui, à Port-au-Prince, Haïti. Le pays, en apparence, est le même. Mais au fil des jours, des silences de ses proches, des mots chuchotés par la rue, c'est à une enquête sur les morts qu'il se livre : zombis haïtiens et fantômes installés dans le quotidien de chaleur et de bruit de la ville."
