Paris, July 1999: Private investigator Aimée Leduc is walking through SaintGermain when she is accosted by Suzanne Lesage, a Brigade Criminelle agent on an elite counterterrorism squad. Suzanne has just returned from the former Yugoslavia, where she was hunting down dangerous war criminals for the Hague.
Back in Paris, Suzanne is convinced sheâs being stalked by a ghostâa Serbian warlord her team took down. Sheâs suffering from PTSD and her boss thinks sheâs imagining things. She begs AimĂ©e to investigateâis it possible Mirko Vladic could be alive and in Paris with a blood vendetta?
AimĂ©e is already working on a huge case; plus, sheâs got an eight-month-old baby to take care of. But she canât say no to Suzanne, whom she owes a big favor.
AimĂ©e chases the few leads she has, and all evidence confirms Mirko Vladic is dead. It seems that Suzanne is in fact paranoid, perhaps losing her mindâuntil Suzanneâs team begins to die in a series of strange, tragic accidents. Are these just coincidences? Or are things not what they seem?
