Master of detective intrigue Dominique Sylvain has not parted with his favorite characters for more than ten years - ex-police commissioner Lola Jost and eccentric stripper Ingrid Diesel. The writer's popularity grows along with the popularity of her heroines. Two novels in this series have already been transferred to the television screen, the books have been translated into ten languages, and their creator has been awarded prestigious awards, including the famous “Ink Blood” and the Grand Prix of Elle magazine readers. The novel “Shadows and the Sun” is written in the footsteps of Sylvain’s previous book “Dirty War”, recognized by the editors of the authoritative magazine Lire as the best detective story of 2011. The chief of the Parisian criminal police, Arnaud Mars, was found dead in Abidjan. The secret diaries of the arrested lawyer, where he recorded all the arms trade transactions, disappeared from his house. On suspicion of murdering Mars, his assistant, Major Sasha Dugen, was taken into custody. Lola Jost and Dugen's ex-girlfriend Ingrid launch their own investigation to prove his innocence. Soon both realize that someone is hunting for them too.
