Breaking Point
In 'Breaking Point,' a police captain finds himself embroiled in a high-stakes investigation that blurs the lines between justice and vengeance. As he delves deeper into the case, he uncovers a web of corruption and personal demons that threaten to push him to his limits. The novel explores the psychological toll of crime and the moral compromises made in pursuit of truth.
Breaking Point is the first book in Olivier Norek's Captain Coste series, introducing the protagonist and the gritty Parisian police world he inhabits.
Breaking Point was adapted into the French film "L'Enquête" (The Inquiry) in 2014, starring Gilles Lellouche as Captain Coste.
Breaking Point establishes Norek's signature style of blending police procedural with social commentary, a characteristic that continues through his subsequent novels, often exploring the moral ambiguities faced by law enforcement.
