A new novel from the star of the French thriller!The terrible truth about television!An unexpected ending that is impossible to predict!Millions of viewers turn on the TV at eight in the evening, but today they will see more than just the news on the largest French TV channel. Today they will have a live broadcast that they will never forget. In a TV studio, in front of the public, an unknown masked man takes TV presenter Paul Ducky-Ferrand hostage and forbids him to turn off the broadcast under threat of killing this favorite of the whole of France. He agrees to negotiate only with an employee of the TV channel, Charlene, who is disappointed in her profession and in life. With the support of a trained negotiator, Charlene begins a game in which too much depends on every word, while the Paris investigation department, special forces, politicians and TV channel employees try to free the hostages and find out what kind of person is hiding behind the mask. However, some of those who found themselves in the TV studio on that terrible night also have secret goals. . . In the Prime-time thriller, Maxim Shattam uncompromisingly reveals everything terrible and ridiculous that lurks in the soul of each of us — our desire to participate in horror at a safe distance, our willingness to believe beautifully presented lies. The media is manipulating the public. The audience is hungry for spectacles. Everyone has blood on their hands. Prime Time immerses us in the world of mass media, where reality and fiction are mixed into sharp criticism of modern society. Shattam deeply analyzes the influence of media on people, the power of information, and the pitfalls faced by a society obsessed with ratings and sensationalism. This novel is great entertainment, but also a serious look at the balance of power and inequality in the media environment. A truly magnificent piece of work!Aude Bouquine is a dizzying thriller with topical reflections on the world of media. Paris Match.
