A graduate of Political Science in Paris, Jeanne Faivre d'Arcier is a head hunter for the cosmetics and luxury goods industry, and the world of media and communication.
She divides her time between Paris, living in Pigalle, and Cap Ferret, where she finds her inspiration by contemplating the ocean and the Landes forest.
Distant horizons have always been part of her life. Her books are strongly based on her voyages and her penchant for the Orient with its mythical cultures and powerful religious and philosophical traditions.
Lastly one of her recurrent sources of inspiration is sexual transgression. Taboo is present in all her books, whether it be novels about vampires, a biography of a Jewish Tunisian singer burnt alive by a rejected lover or her thriller: L'Ange blanc s'habille en noir (The White Angel dresses in black). In this book, paroxysms of passion, power games, sado-masochistic scenarios and the underside of perversity generate a succession of murders... less explicable than they seem at first sight.
