Synopsis
Xavier-Marie Bonnot nació en Marsella en 1962 y reside en París. Tras doctorarse en Historia y Letras, se dedicó a la dirección de documentales televisivos centrados en el ámbito judicial. Con su primera novela, La primera huella (2002), obtuvo el Prix Rompol, el Prix des Marsellais y fue finalista del Prix SNCF. Al éxito de esta, protagonizada por el comisario Michel de Palma, siguieron sucesivas entregas: La bête du marais (2004), que fue finalista del Rompol, La voix du loup (2006) y Les âmes sans nom (2009). Las novelas de Xavier-Marie Bonnot, muy documentadas y de una escritura vívida y precisa, abordan temas variados que van de la prehistoria y las leyendas provenzales al error judicial o el terrorismo, y lindan con las fronteras de los sobrenatural y lo fantástico, adentrándose en territorios donde se mezcla el pasado con el presente. El escenario de sus libros es la Provenza negra, al que sabe despojar de elementos folclóricos y presentar de un modo muy original. Su personaje principal es Michel De Palma, alias #el Barón#, un policía humanista y apasionado por la ópera, un tipo destinado a entrar en el panteón de héroes de la novela negra. Los libros de Xavier-Marie Bonnot han sido traducidos al inglés, el alemán y el italiano. Xavier-Marie Bonnot was born in Marseille in 1962 and lives in Paris. After earning his Ph D in History and Literature, he worked on television documentaries about the French legal system. With his first novel, La Première empreinte (2002), he won the Rompol Prix, the Prix des Marsellais and was shortlisted for the Prix SNCF. His next novel, starring the commissioner Michel de Palma, La bête du Marais (2004), was shortlisted for the Rompol. He then published La voix du loup (2006) and Les âmes sans nom (2009). The novels of Xavier-Marie Bonnot are meticulously researched and vividly written, accurately addressing subjects ranging from prehistory and legends of Provence to terrorism, reaching the boundaries of the supernatural and fantasy, into territories where it mixes the past with the present. Its main character, Michel De Palma, alias "The Baron", is a humane police officer with a passion for opera. The books of Xavier-Marie Bonnot have been translated into English, German and Italian.
