Friendly and humble, he defines himself, all smiles “intermittently reading”, caught up in several centers of interest, but passionate about the world of Mary Higgins Clark or Harlan Coben, masters of suspense…Karim Adda lives in Castres and presents his first novel “Soleil perdu” (Les Editions du Net): a detective story which is in the spirit of the American authors he loves. It is therefore not surprising that the story develops across the Atlantic in the United States. Overview: “Molly has buried her past and her childhood behind her, of which only thin fragments remain. When dramatic events occur in her indirect circle, she understands that what was once behind her is resurfacing.” “Inspired by real events”, the plot is nourished by the fertile imagination of the young author,

and in particular “elements linked to secret organizations”. Around the heroine, journalist, detective and police officer will cross their destinies and “give rise to quite a few twists and turns”. Nearly 300 pages served by fluid and lively writing where the dialogues deliver rhythm. The nuances are essential with, for example, the force of confrontations which follow lyrical passages such as “this soft light of the setting sun which outlined people like silhouettes”. At the same time, Karim works in a legal department, he is involved in

sport and the community. Empathetic, he is also involved in the Telethon. At the heart of his book, he likes to encourage “not to be afraid of the unknown, to overcome reluctance”. He also highlights “the importance of family, blood family but also that of the heart”. A touching young author who will inevitably also touch you with his pen and his story.
