The progress of science and the growth of knowledge, claim the authors, depend upon challenging accepted dogma and belief. Their purpose in this book is not to criticize medicine or those who practice it but to advocate the need for criticism in medicine. Doctors, they claim, can discover new ways and improve old ways to ease the human journey from cradle to grave--through rational inquiry, honest admission of ignorance, and by demystifying rituals.

Les douze péchés capitaux – Une enquête de Philippe Lawson est un thriller captivant, où se dévoile l’histoire d’un homme de pouvoir devenu un tueur en série implacable, agissant selon une justice personnelle rigoureuse et rituelle. Bien au-delà d’une simple enquête criminelle, ce roman plonge le lecteur dans les recoins les plus sombres de l’âme humaine, révélant un meurtrier à la fois cultivé et tourmenté, dont l’ambivalence fascine tout en dérangeant. L’isolement d’un décor rural figé dans le temps intensifie une atmosphère oppressante, où la tension ne cesse de croître. L’écriture, à la fois tranchante et sans concession, soutient un rythme haletant qui ne laisse aucun répit. À PROPOS DE L''AUTEUR D’origine écossaise, Robert James Stevenson a vécu plusieurs années en Belgique, principalement dans les Ardennes francophones, à proximité de la France et du Grand-Duché de Luxembourg. Son engouement pour l’écriture, nourri par les cultures variées qu’il a côtoyées, l’a conduit à se consacrer aux récits policiers, imprégnés d’une atmosphère désenchantée. Une plume saisissante à découvrir sans tarder.
