About the Book

Pierre Dubois et sa séduisante maîtresse, Manon, voguent vers San Francisco sur le clipper américain, le Nuage volant, à l'apogée de la ruée vers l'or. Dubois a pour tâche de faire là-bas toute la lumière sur la fraude d'une compagnie minière et Manon d'y ouvrir un restaurant alors que la loi française interdit à une femme d'être propriétaire de son affaire. Avec une prospection minière qui devient plus difficile et des bateaux qui déchargent chaque semaine de nouveaux chercheurs d'or, San Francisco est, en 1851, une ville sans loi, bruyante et dangereuse où les querelles se règlent au fusil, où les hommes sont cent fois plus nombreux que les femmes, et où les escrocs font la loi dans les rues, les maisons closes et les palais de jeux. L'odyssée de Dubois et de Manon les conduit à travers les fumeries d'opium, les bordels et les tripots de Little China, les charmantes trattorias de Little Italy, et sur les concessions aurifères de la rivière Yuba où mineurs américains et étrangers s'affrontent dans des conditions hostiles avec l'espoir de dénicher le gisement qui les rendra riches. Après l'incendie de la ville par le gang prédateur des Sydney Ducks qu'un Comité de Vigilance poursuit afin de pendre ses membres, Pierre et Manon doivent se démener et gagner de quoi vivre sous peine d'avoir à financer le retour au pays, dépités et appauvris comme la plupart de ceux qui ont risqué leur vie et leur santé et endetté leur famille dans l'espoir de faire fortune. L'auteur KEN SALTER est professeur émérite en Communication à la San Jose State University de San José (Californie), où il dispense des cours d'écriture, de pensée critique et de rhétorique et où il dirige un département d'initiation aux études juridiques. Il est également avocat international spécialisé dans le domaine de l'immobilier international et des mines. Il a été à la tête d'une compagnie minière aurifère pendant 15 ans au Mexique et au Chili. Il est l'auteur de plusieurs ouvrages sur des procès célèbres dont le Procès de Dan White (Trial of Dan White); ce dernier avait tué Harvey Milk, chef des services de la mairie de San Francisco et George Moscone, maire de la ville. Ken Salter vit avec son épouse française en Californie à Berkeley ainsi qu'en France en Auvergne.
