Marco Pianelli crowned with the gendarmerie novel prize. The fifth winner of the prize, author of The Shadow of the Night (Jigal), tells in Les Entrailles de la nuit the story of an investigator who must find an 8-year-old girl.
Since 1946, the police have had a similar literary prize, the Quai des Orfèvres prize. It was awarded this year to Martial Caroff, academic and specialist in ancient volcanism, for his novel Don't thank me!
