Laetitia Perrais was eighteen years old when she was raped, murdered and dismembered on the night of January 18, 2011. The crime reached the newspapers and shocked France. The then president Nicolas Sarkozy, in a gesture of populist opportunism, pointed to the judges, because the murderer accumulated a long history of previous detentions. This heartbreaking book addresses the macabre crime and political reaction. Laetitia was, long before she jumped at the headlines, a victim.
