Inspiré de faits réels, le thriller maritime le plus impitoyable de l’Histoire…1629, la Compagnie hollandaise des Indes orientales, la plus riche société que l’Histoire ait jamais connue, affrète le Jakarta, fleuron de son immense flotte. Destination : l’Indonésie. Cargaison : assez d’or et de diamants pour corrompre l’empereur de Sumatra. À son bord, plus de 300 personnes issues de la misère ou de la fine fleur des bas-fonds d’Amsterdam. Point commun, aucun d’eux n’aurait jamais mis les pieds à bord de cet enfer flottant s’il n’était désespéré. Attisée par l’or et la violence des officiers, la tentation d’une mutinerie grandit, faisant du Jakarta un véritable baril de poudre. Un homme est prêt à allumer la mèche pour nourrir sa cupidité autant que ses rêves de grandeur : Jéronimus Cornélius. Apothicaire ruiné, recherché par l’Inquisition, il est le numéro deux à bord. Cultivé, intelligent, charismatique, rien ni personne ne semble en mesure d’empêcher son funeste projet de massacre et de prise du pouvoir sur le navire. Personne sauf… une invitée inattendue dans ce voyage effroyable, Lucrétia Hans. Femme de la haute Société, sommée par son mari de le rejoindre en Indonésie, elle doit à sa beauté autant qu’à sa désinvolture de se retrouver aussi proche du commandant du navire que de Jéronimus qui voit en elle un objet de désir et de fascination. Innocente, perdue au milieu de cet enfer sur mer, Lucrétia Hans découvre qu’elle est le dernier rempart contre celui qui est probablement un des pires psychopathes de l’Histoire. Bon voyage…Premier tome d’un diptyque consacré à l’une des pages les plus sanglantes de l’histoire maritime, ce thriller psychologique revient sur un récit effroyable où se sont mêlés mutinerie, naufrage, massacre et survie. En se focalisant sur ce microcosme sordide, Xavier Dorison signe autant un récit d’aventures magistral qu’une galerie de portraits sur la noirceur de l’âme humaine, magnifiquement illustré par un Thimothée Montaigne au sommet de son art.
" Il était d'un naturel féroce et sanguinaire qui se trahissait dans les moindres choses comme dans les grandes... Dans tous les combats de gladiateurs donnés par lui ou quelqu'un d'autre, il faisait égorger même ceux qui tombaient par hasard pour observer leur visage quand ils expiraient."
Pour les habitants de la basse ville, il est le Scorpion. Les hommes l'évitent, redoutant son épée plus virevoltante que la nuée de moustiques d'une chaude nuit d'été. Les femmes le cherchent, fascinées par la prestance de ce beau brun qui sait les aimer comme personne. Pour les habitants de la haute ville, il est Armando Catalano, l'homme à la perruque poudrée qui sait dénicher aux fins fonds des catacombes romaines les reliques des saints de l'antiquité et du Moyen âge que princes et évêques s'arrachent à prix d'or. Pour le cardinal Trebaldi, l'impitoyable maître des moines-guerriers, l'homme qui n'hésite pas à faire empaler dans son confessionnal un prêtre trop bavard, il est le témoin d'une époque maudite qui doit disparaître. Pour cela Trebaldi demandera à une gitane égyptienne experte en poisons de lui apporter la peau de l'homme qui porte sur l'épaule droite un tatouage en forme de scorpion. Tatouage infamant rappelant à tous que la mère du héros a péri brûlée vive sur le bûcher réservé aux sorcières. Mais la gitane manquera son coup, déchaînant la colère du Scorpion. Les murs du Vatican en tremblent encore.
