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