Description
A young woman, Alex Prévost, wakes to a nightmare: she has been kidnapped, brutally beaten, and left suspended in a small cage in an abandoned industrial space. As an unreliable eyewitness and a fractured trail of clues pull investigators into a maze of contradictions, the case widens into a dark, meticulously engineered mystery. With each revelation, the novel tests what we believe about truth, memory, and justice—while exploring obsession, power, and the long shadows cast by violence. Pierre Lemaitre’s sharp, suspense-driven style delivers a fiendishly plotted detective story that keeps tightening its grip until the final, devastating turn.
