Abstract: In this article, I examine how crime fiction and news stories are important convergence lines in two recent novels by Delphine de Vigan, Rien ne s’oppose à la nuit (2011) and D’après une histoire vraie (2015). These first-person accounts can in fact be read as the building blocks of a narrative series (in which the second novel is the sequel of the first) based on the key figure of the investigation.
