Descripción

Moved by his second wife, a Martinican lawyer and former independence activist living in Paris, Albert Constant, reluctantly decides to clarify the murder attempt against him that happened years ago. This felony and the events in which he was subsequently involved forced his departure from the French overseas department. Although Constant seemed to have forgotten the past in his new and dour trial lawyer’s life, the presence in the French capital of someone who provides clues about what happened leads him to return to Martinique. He meets there Roland, his old friend and partner: together, they start to tie up loose ends.
Influido por su segunda esposa, Albert Constant, abogado martiniqués y antiguo militante independentista residente en París decide a regañadientes esclarecer el atentado de que fue víctima años atrás. Este ataque y los hechos en que se involucró posteriormente forzaron su salida del departamento francés de ultramar. Aunque Constant parecía haber dejado atrás el pasado en su nueva y adusta vida de litigante, la aparición en la capital francesa de alguien que brinda pistas sobre lo sucedido lo lleva a regresar a la isla. Allí se reencuentra con su viejo amigo y copartidario Roland: juntos, comienzan a atar cabos sueltos.
