Through recklessness, the young Nano Mosconi ends up in the dreaded Marveil prison. Terrified and desperate, he asks his sister Alex to do the impossible to get him out of there. She pressures the family lawyer, who proposes a surprising plan. It could work though. Meanwhile, in the sub-directorate of the judicial police, in the department of Sena-Saint-Denis, Captain Victor Coste and his team are alerted of the kidnapping of a young boy. Two unrelated pieces have fallen and will unleash a domino effect of unpredictable consequences.

A masterful handling of suspense and intrigue, an absorbing plot and characters of formidable humanity are the ingredients of Efecto Dominó that have inducted Olivier Norek as one of the great French detective authors.

Slivers of faces are framed by sharp lines with white gaps in between, displaying the varied cast of characters in a dynamic composition of progressively warmer colors. Seemingly fitting together, yet leaning to the right-hand side, the cover design mimics the uncontrollable motion of falling dominoes.
