hommes d'affaires les plus riches du Québec. Dans la jeune quarantaine, beau, fonceur, intelligent et sans pitié pour la concurrence et les losers, Daniel a tout pour lui et ne se gêne pas pour prendre le reste. Quand Martin Charron, un financier et ancien confrère de collège, lui propose de devenir membre de Hell.com, un site Internet secret où tout - mais vraiment tout ! - est possible pour ceux qui le fréquentent, Daniel sait qu'il ne pourra refuser de s'inscrire. N'est-il pas un « puissant de ce monde », comme son père l'a été avant lui et comme Simon, son fils adolescent dont il a la garde exclusive, le deviendra à son tour ? Or, ce que Daniel Saul a oublié, c'est qu'on ne monte jamais aux enfers, on y descend ! Et leur profondeur, qui est abyssale, n'aura bientôt d'égale que celle de son désespoir ! » -- 4e de couvBy Nancy Garden. 2006
