La syndicaliste [French]

By Caroline Michel

A political-legal-financial crime novel full of twists based on a meticulous investigation.

On 17th December 2012 in an affluent suburb in the Paris region, Maureen Kearney is found at home bound and gagged with her underwear pulled down and the handle of a knife driven into her vagina. Maureen - an ordinary housewife originally from Ireland who has lived in France for years - is a trade unionist for Areva, a French nuclear power multinational. She then finds herself accused of inventing and staging her attack, before eventually being declared innocent.
Caroline Michel's investigation uncovers the background to this crime connected to a major industrialist's attempt to transfer technology to China: the colossal financial implications of the transfer justified every form of pressure. She relates the fate of an Irish Erin Brockovich who fought for French employees in the cut-throat world of the energy industry.

Caroline Michel est responsable du service investigation d'un grand journal fran ais, L'Obs. Elle suit cette affaire depuis des ann es et a la confiance de Maureen Kearney, l'irlandaise victime de cette agression.
