AimâÂŽe Leduc is happy that her long-time business partner RenâÂŽ has found a girlfriend. Really, she is. It's not her fault if she can't suppress her doubts about the relationship; RenâÂŽ is moving way too fast, and AimâÂŽe's instincts tell her Meizi, this supposed love of RenâÂŽ's life, isn't trustworthy. And her misgivings may not be far off the mark. Meizi disappears during a Chinatown dinner to take a phone call and never comes back to the restaurant. Minutes later, the body of a young man, a science prodigy and volunteer at the nearby MusâÂŽe, is found shrink-wrapped in an alleyâwith Meizi's photo in his wallet.
AimâÂŽe does not like this scenario one bit, but she can't figure out how the murder is connected to Meizi's disappearance. The dead genius was sitting on a discovery that had France's secret service keeping tabs on him. Now they're keeping tabs on AimâÂŽe.
A missing young woman, an illegal immigrant raid in progress, botched affairs of the heart, dirty policemen, the French secret service, cutting-edge science secrets, and a murderer on the looseâwhat has she gotten herself into? And can she get herselfâand her friendsâback out of it all alive?
