In June 2021， a senseless event upends the lives of hundreds of men and women， all passengers on a flight from Paris to New York。 Among them: Blake， a respectable family man， though he works as a contract killer; Slimboy， a Nigerian pop star tired of living a lie; Joanna， a formidable lawyer whose flaws have caught up with her; and Victor Miesel， a critically acclaimed yet commercially unsuccessful writer who suddenly becomes a cult hit。

All of them believed they had double lives。 None imagined just how true that was。

A virtuoso novel where logic confronts magic， The Anomaly explores the part of ourselves that eludes us。 This witty variation on the doppelgänger theme， which takes us on a journey from Lagos and Mumbai to the White House， proves to be Hervé Le Tellier’s most ambitious work yet。
