In December 2009 twenty-five-year-old Michaël Blaise was killed by security workers in the Part-Dieu branch of Carrefour, Lyon: his crime was to walk into the branch and drink a can of beer. He was led into a small detention room and subjected to violence said by a magistrate in the court case to be totally disproportionate to his offence. His death was by asphixiation: pressure was maintained for some time on his rib cage. Laurent Mauvignier's sixty-two page fictional account of the incident is based on the story, told with great sympathy and very movingly.
