Paris, July 1999: Private investigator AimƩe 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 sheās being stalked by a ghostāa Serbian warlord her team took down. Sheās suffering from PTSD and her boss thinks sheās imagining things. She begs AimĆ©e to investigateāis it possible Mirko Vladic could be alive and in Paris with a blood vendetta?
AimĆ©e is already working on a huge case; plus, sheās got an eight-month-old baby to take care of. But she canāt say no to Suzanne, whom she owes a big favor.
AimĆ©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 mindāuntil Suzanneās team begins to die in a series of strange, tragic accidents. Are these just coincidences? Or are things not what they seem?
