Summary

This is a literary crime novel of the new social order, where the white lower class blames their bosses, the Arabs, the rich, and the whole world at the same time. It is the story of a world that has come to an end. With a girl, a .45 Colt, and the snow. A factory closes in the Vosges, and nobody cares. Hundreds of people have been sacked, they're now unemployed, on benefits, their kids won't go to summer camp anymore. There's a couple of news items in the evening, and then basta. But factories are full of dangerous people with nothing left to lose. Here is an portrait of a working class eaten up by the frustration and resentment of having been abandoned, and sinking into alcoholism and racism.
