Will Philippe Francois’ nightmare finally end on August 26? On that day, the court of cassation in Antananarivo (Madagascar) must make a decision on his case, which is as complex as it is sensitive. This brilliant Saint-Syrian, transformed into a privateer after twenty-five years of good and faithful service in the marines (he holds the Cross of Military Valor and the War Cross of Foreign Theaters), was transferred to Madagascar in 2020. There he met Franco-Malagasy Paul Maillot, like him from Saint-Cyr, but in a previous capacity. The two men team up in a gold mining project. A sector that is almost monopolized by the entourage of President Andriy Rajoelina.
Another problem. Paul Mailo has political ambitions that are opposed by an autocratic and self-willed paranoid force. Noticing that his business is not progressing, Philippe François chooses to return permanently to France to resume his former position in logistics.
