Marc Levy, known as "the writer who is also a journalist," has returned with his 27th novel Les Évadées. The novel, published in two parts, draws inspiration from a real investigation to address the issue of digital fraud networks in Southeast Asia and the situation of scientific research in the United States. Through the journey of two twin sisters, one an investigator in Lyon and the other a researcher at the Pasteur Institute based in Boston, the novel highlights attempts at political control over knowledge and individual freedoms, particularly in the United States. Levy, who has long balanced a career in journalism with his writing, brings a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of current events to his fiction. Les Évadées reflects his interest in the intersection of technology, politics, and personal freedom, themes that have become increasingly relevant in the digital age. The novel is set against a backdrop of real-world issues, including the spread of misinformation online and the challenges faced by scientists in navigating political pressures. The twin sisters in the story represent two different paths: one in law enforcement and the other in medical research. Their parallel journeys allow Levy to explore how individuals can be affected by larger systemic issues, whether through the pursuit of truth in investigative work or the quest for knowledge in scientific research. The narrative weaves together their experiences, showing how their lives become intertwined through the discovery of a complex digital fraud network. Les Évadées is not only a thriller but also a commentary on the role of information in shaping society. Levy uses his characters' experiences to question who controls knowledge and how that control affects individual freedoms. The novel is expected to spark discussions about the responsibilities of both governments and individuals in maintaining transparency and ethical standards in the digital world.
