Synopsis "Inhuman Resources "

Alain Delambre is a 57-year-old former HR executive, drained by four years of hopeless unemployment. All he is offered are small, demoralizing jobs. He has reached his very lowest ebb, and can see no way out. So when a major company finally invites him to an interview, Alain Delambre is ready to do anything, borrow money, shame his wife and his daughters and even participate in the ultimate recruitment test: a role-playing game that involves hostage-taking. Alain Delambre commits body and soul in this struggle to regain his dignity. But if he suddenly realised that the dice had been loaded against him from the start, his fury would be limitless. And what began as a role-play game could quickly become a bloodbath.

Pierre Lemaitre (Paris, 1951) is a French writer and screenwriter known for his talent in crime fiction and historical narrative. With a nimble, psychological style full of tension, he has captured the attention of both readers and critics. He began his career with the series featuring detective Camille Verhoeven, but gained international projection with The Great Swindle, a novel set after World War I that earned him the prestigious Goncourt Prize in 2013. Among his most notable works are Irene, Alex, Rosy & John, Inhuman Resources, and the historical trilogy that continues with The Colors of the Fire and The Mirror of Our Sorrows. Lemaitre has masterfully blended intrigue, social critique, and psychological depth in stories that leave a mark on his readers.
