Aimรฉe Leduc is happy her long-time business partner Renรฉ has found a girlfriend. Really, she is. Itโs not her fault if she canโt suppress her doubts about the relationship; Renรฉ is moving way too fast, and Aimรฉeโs instincts tell her Meizi, this supposed love of Renรฉโs life, isnโt 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 Musรฉe, is found shrink-wrapped in an alleywayโwith Meiziโs photo in his wallet.
Aimรฉe does not like this scenario one bit, but she canโt figure out how the murder is connected to Meiziโs disappearance. The dead genius was sitting on a discovery that has Franceโs secret service keeping tabs on him. Now theyโre keeping tabs on Aimรฉe. 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 looseโwhat has she gotten herself into? And can she get herselfโand her friendsโback out of it all alive?
