Aimée Leduc is happy her long-time business partner René has
found a girlfriend. Really, she is. It’s not her fault if
she can’t suppress her doubts about the relationship; René
is moving way too fast, and Aimée’s instincts tell her
Meizi, this supposed love of René’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 Musée, is found shrink-wrapped in an alleyway—with
Meizi’s photo in his wallet.
Aimée 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 has France’s secret service keeping tabs on him. Now
they’re keeping tabs on Aimée. 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 loose—what has
she gotten herself into? And can she get herself—and her
friends—back out of it all alive?
