Book Synopsis
Caught up in a world of chaos, Nuovo Kahid struggles to remember the details of one fateful night before it’s all too late in this gripping political thriller. In a North American city in the near future, a great economic summit is getting under way, and Kahid is the journalist assigned to cover it. Meanwhile, Villanueva, a crumbling modern city rife with corruption, is falling into ruin as a meteor makes its way towards Earth.

Trade Review
More than just a dark futuristic novel, Zippo sits at the rarely visited border between the detective story and science fiction. Here is a striking testimonial on the stormy beginning of our new century. The elliptic, well-worked, stylized and poetic writing quickly wins us over, regardless of syntactic conventions: the sentence is often severed from its subject and syncopated as if it was the very reflection of this tattered, tense universe." - Solaris

"A work as frightening as it is fascinating. No reader can be left indifferent." - Le Libraire
