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