” Do you think it`s possible to live again, Monsieur?.. .I mean.. .is it possible to die & then.. .live again in someone else?” You`re no longer in the police, but when an old friend asks you to look after his wife as a favour, how can you refuse? She`sbeen behaving strangely, mysteriously
- but she`s dazzling. & so Flavieres begins to scour the streets of Paris in search of an answer
- in search of a woman who belongs to no one, not even to herself. Soon intrigue is replaced by obsession, & dreams by nightmares, as the boundaries between the living & the dead begin to blur.

A man tormented by his search for the truth, & ultimately destroyed by a dark, terrible secret.
