Thilliez delivers a powerful blow with this thriller that plunges the reader into deception literally on every page.

François Lestavel (Paris Match)

A manuscript without an ending. A murder investigation without a body. A corpse without a face.

In the trunk of a car on the outskirts of Grenoble, the remains of a young woman are found. The sight is shocking – her eyes are gouged out, her face is flayed, and her hands are cut off and gathered in a bag. It soon becomes clear to the police that the driver is not the owner of the car. He had the misfortune of stealing a car with a sinister cargo. But then who is the perpetrator of this sadistic act?

Leane Morgan and Enael Miroir – the former teacher has become the queen of thrillers, but she jealously guards her private life. A life successfully rivaling the horrors she narrates in her crime novels. Her only child – Sara – has been abducted and is missing, her marriage is a complete failure, and of her once happy family only one villa remains – 'The Inspirer' – in Cote d'Opal, where her husband lives, tirelessly but unsuccessfully searching for their daughter. But a phone call informs her that her husband has been attacked and is currently in the hospital with amnesia. This event opens a Pandora's box and brings back the horror of the four years since Sara's disappearance.

From the darkness and mists of the coastal area, the scene of brutal crimes, to the most terrifying and dark corners of the human psyche – François Thillier leads us on a sinister walk through the most cruel and perverted manifestations of human nature.
