In The Red Ring, the writer returns us to the methods of the standard French realist school, in a detective style that is not devoid of suspense, and invites us to reconsider our political affiliations and alignments, regardless of their differences, and to scrutinize their origin and motives. He also asks us again the big questions about the issues of war, death, patriotism, and loyalty. Through a story that took place shortly after World War II in the French region of Berry, where a heroic veteran is arrested. He was detained in a cell that was a military barracks, and an emaciated dog barked at the door day and night. Not far from her, a young woman lives the peasant life she was not made for, hoping to wait. A young aristocratic judge investigates the detainee's case, after the war stripped him of his ideals and values. Linking these characters is a dog that holds the keys to the story.
