Bernard Thiraud, parisien d'origine, se fait assassiner, alors qu'il sort du service des archives de la préfecture toulousaine. Etudiant sans problème, ce meurtre semble inexplicable. Or, il apparaît très vite à l'inspecteur Cadin, chargé de l'enquête que Roger Thiraud, père de Bernard, a lui aussi été tué, lors de la manifestation du 17 octobre 1961 à Paris. Ce jour-là, des milliers d'Algériens, pacifistes et non armés, ont protesté contre le couvre-feu qui leur était imposé ; la manifestation a été réprimée dans le sang, faisant des centaines de morts, les media n'en n'ont pas parlé... Les deux meurtres pourraient être liés, à moins d'une coïncidence assez improbable. C'est donc un dossier ultra sensible que va exhumer Cadin, s'engageant dans la voie du meurtre politique. L'intrigue est ancrée dans l'histoire de France récente et ô combien douloureuse... Daeninckx pointe des épisodes relégués « aux oubliettes de l'histoire », comme la répression policière de la manifestation algérienne mais aussi l'implication de certains administratifs français dans la déportation d'enfants juifs durant la guerre. Le récit fourmille aussi d'anecdotes en tous genre et ne néglige pas l'humour à l'occasion. Le texte est militant, Daeninckx a des choses à dire mais pour autant l'intrigue policière ne se réduit pas à un prétexte, au contraire, on est vraiment tenu en haleine jusqu'à la résolution des meurtres et l'auteur nous mène sur des voies insoupçonées.
Somebody is bumping off historians who are digging into a ghastly episode in contemporary French politics. A sophisticated police inspector from Toulouse follows the clues to Paris and to answers revealing far more shame for his country than he imagined. The book takes a novelistic approach to pieces of true history, and though the writing feels clumsy in places and not altogether well thought out, it still provokes much authentic horror.

In a demonstration in Paris in 1961, hundreds of Algerians are killed by the police. During the demonstration, Roger Thiraud, a young history teacher, is murdered. Twenty years later, Bernard, his son, is murdered in Toulouse. To find the connection between the murders takes Inspector Cadin on an investigation into the shabby compromises of wartime politics. Winner of the 1984 Detective Fiction Prize, Murder in Memoriam is an impressive debut by the leading light of the new wave of French thriller writers.

The novel concerns the investigation into the death of of a young aspiring academic who has been conducting a private research project. The police investigation uncovers the fact that the murdered man's father had himself been murdered during a riot in Paris in 1961 when passions about Algerian independence were at their peak. Surely this cannot be mere coincidence!
The investigation delves deeply into allegations of police brutality and bigotry, and the plot is tightly drawn. Sadly, though, the prose is often impenetrable and it was with a great feeling of relief that i finally reached the end.. ( )
