We construct a Cartan-Hadamard manifold with pinched negative curvature whose group of isometries possesses divergent discrete free subgroups with parabolic elements that do not satisfy the so-called "parabolic gap condition'' introduced in [4]. This construction relies on the comparaison between the Poincaré series of these free groups and the potential of some transfer operator which appears naturally in this context.

Keywords: parabolic groups, Poincaré series., Schottky groups.
