The Girl Who Cried Underwater

Author Niko Tackian
Publisher Calmann-Lévy
In The Girl Who Cried Underwater, Niko Tackian tackles a very topical social issue that is too often silenced: femicide and violence towards women, both physical and psychological. An intelligent detective novel in which emotion rises to the surface with each passing chapter.

On a hot July day, a woman is found dead in a public swimming pool. Police commander Tomar Khan and his team are dispatched to the scene. As far as he's concerned, it is tragically clear: Clara Delattre killed herself. But Rhonda, his second-in-command, refuses to leave it at that. A visit to the deceased’s home leads her to believe that Clara was a passionate woman who was hiding a great deal of pain. What if something, or someone, was behind this suicide? Rhonda will not rest until she discovers the truth. A strong and topical thriller on violence against women.
