The May 1967 riots in Guadeloupe were clashes between police and protesters on the island during strikes following a racist attack. The three most significant days of repression in Pointe-à-Pitre, on May 26, 27, and 28, resulted in the deaths of eight people, according to the official death toll, although this number has sometimes been revised upwards.

THE 20 March 1967, Vladimir Snarsky, white owner of a large shoe store in Basse-Terre, lets go of his German shepherd to chase away Raphaël Balzinc, an old black and disabled shoemaker who set up his stall opposite the shop. The white owner, also a local leader of the Gaullist party UNR, ironically asks his dog "Say hello to the nigger!" This racist incident is the cause of riots and strikes in Basse-Terre and Pointe-à-Pitre the following days, so that the prefect of the island, Pierre Bolotte, deployed two squadrons of gendarmerie.

The novel is inspired by true events: Luc Blanchard, who has settled in Guadeloupe with Lucille and their daughter Celanie, now works for the local newspaper. As violent riots break out, Lucille's cousin dies, and the young woman is arrested and sent to prison in Paris. Accompanied by Sirus and Antoine, Luc gathers clues to prove the innocence of the woman he loves.
