Dans <i>Ma vie au c\u0153ur de la French<\/i>, il met en lumi\u00e8re celle qui lui a confi\u00e9 ses souvenirs les plus secrets, Arlette Vidal. Au fil des 304\u00a0pages, la fille de flic l\u00e8ve le voile sur une vie qui aurait pu \u00eatre bien tranquille du c\u00f4t\u00e9 de Toulon. Mais qui l\u2019a conduite \u00e0 vivre dans le marigot d\u2019un grand banditisme marseillais, aux c\u00f4t\u00e9s des Tany Zampa, Riri, qui fut son \u00e9poux, ou encore du Mat.<\/p>\n<p>D\u2019une fuite d\u2019Oran, jusqu\u2019\u00e0 une confrontation avec le juge Michel, c\u2019est toute une histoire de la French Connection, lorsque Marseille \u00e9tait la plaque tournante du trafic de drogue, qui se d\u00e9roule au fil de six grands chapitres.

Sa rencontre avec Bernard Lions l\u2019a amen\u00e9e \u00e0 vivre une seconde lib\u00e9ration. Couchant sur le papier des souvenirs qu\u2019elle ne pouvait pas garder uniquement pour elle.<\/p>\n<p>La plume du journaliste de sports a fait le reste.
