But in spite of his perfect covering of their trail, the mysterious antagonist finds them. Though the attack fails, Camille starts to wonder if there is more to the situation than meets the eye--as there is no way they could have been followed or discovered without some leak of information. Defying his superiors, Camille dives into the new, deeply personal investigation with all the fervor he can muster, uncovering increasingly shocking connections between Anne, the attackers, his trusted colleagues, his Irene's murderer, and himself.
