Has this fitness practitioner did the series of too much? Was another relentless of the cast iron jealous of his salient biceps? The mystery remains whole as to the body of this man found dead in the showers of a bodybuilding room, in a small village of Lauragais. The investigation, entrusted to the BTA of Saint-Orens-de-Gameville, will reserve its share of surprises and train the Major Jacqueline Prévost to Greece, where it will penetrate the mysteries of the cryptocurrency…
This is the postulate of Crypto-crimes in the gymthe new “cozy crime” of Gérard Mullera writer very inspired by Escalquens …
From satellites to literature
Retired from the space industry where he officiated as an expert in satellite piloting, now an innovation and product strategy consultant, golf passionate, Gérard Muller is also and above all a very prolific writer which, from his home in Escalquens, states stories often anchored in the paper in the local heritage. This writer oscillates between the novel and the cozy crime, a style that allows him to explore various themes, as he explains: “What interests me is to talk about an activity. The intrigue is a pretext to interest and captivate the reader, which must be captivated from the first line. »»
And it was precisely following his inscription in Escal’Form, the Gym of Escalquenns, that Gérard Muller had the idea of starting the intrigue of his new thriller in a weight roomto then develop a story where there is also a question of cryptocurrency, between the Lauragais (where almost all of its thrillers take place) and Greece. Because as a great lover of travel, Gérard has always been keen to walk his characters around the world, during destinations that he himself visited.
“I am the first reader of my books”
Resolutely inspired writer, Gérard Muller returns to his method: “When I start a novel, I discover the story at the same time as I write it. I don’t know where I’m going at all. As Aragon said, I go on an adventure. I am the first reader of my books. For Crypto-crimes in the gymI had already written a third of the book but I still haven’t had it Mobile you crime. So I decided to ask the artificial intelligence to blow myself out of mobile ideas. She gave me solutions and in the lot, there was talk of cryptocurrency. So I did research on the subject and this is how I found solutions to continue writing the plot. »»
What is the cozy crime?
At the end “Polar”, Gérard Muller prefers that of “Cozy Crime”, to define his books. A very particular style of police fiction, in particular defined by the fact that here, violence occurs rather “out-champ”, at the heart of a intrigue which takes place in a small community, in opposition to the more visceral thrillers, which evolve in the bowels of large metropolises and in which the author explores the depths of the human soul.
At the crossroads between the romantic and the thriller
While he continues the thrillers (he is already working on the next one), anchoring his surveys in the terroirin connection with places in Lauragais where heritage treasures play an often preponderant role, Gérard Muller works in parallel on his novels.
Author of approximately 70 worksthe writer also animates Coaching workshops in Toulouseintended for novelist apprentices, which he advises and needle, including when it comes to finding an editor and finally having the joy of seeing his book in the shelves of bookstores. Another way of communicating his passion for words, which he combines with all forms, without ever getting rid of a communicative fervor, always thinking of his readers, which he makes a journey through very immersive stories.
