Title : Masterful Insomnia - Gilbert Thiel - book

Summary :

 With the welfare state dead, as the machine's maintenance budget demonstrates, I finally tell myself that we have everything to fear, and the institution first and foremost, from the emergence of the concept of providential justice, a justice system from which everything and its opposite are demanded, and moreover, immediately. To bring my actions into line with my current ideas, I am tearing up the draft summons I drafted this morning. No, it's decided, I will not, as I had planned, sue the Minister of Justice on the basis of Article 1382 of the Civil Code in order to obtain substantial compensation, supported by case law, for the loss not of an opportunity, but of my illusions.
Twenty-seven years in the judiciary, ten years in Paris, nine of which were spent in terrorism. Well, in counterterrorism. What the hell am I doing there? What's the point?

These few lines from Magistrales Insomnies set the tone. Judge Thiel, whom we had the opportunity to meet in his previous book, On ne réveil pas un juge qui dort, continues his dissection of the judicial system by discussing the major cases that have made the news in recent months and for which he was partly responsible: the crossfire between Corsican nationalist factions, the island settling of scores, the assassinations of François Santoni and Jean-Michel Rossi, the assassination of Prefect Erignac, the hunt for Yvan Colonna, the Roissy baggage handler affair, the Battisti case, the beach hut affair, etc. This presentation of justice seen from the front puts into perspective an institution whose "stated truths" are revealing of the state of our society, but here the analysis passes through the prism of the story, an instruction for the prosecution and the defense by a free spirit, not belonging to any faction, and where reflection is stimulated by humor, irony and provocation.
