PARIS, CHRISTMAS 2021. After a heart attack, Mathias Taillefer wakes up in hospital with a stranger at his bedside. The mysterious girl reveals herself to be Louise Collange, a volunteer who has come to play the cello for patients. When she finds out Mathias is a cop, she asks him to take charge of a very special case.

Her mother, a former ballerina at the Paris Opera Ballet, died last year after falling from her balcony, and Louise has a hunch she was pushed. Though hesitant at first, Mathias agrees to help her, sending them both headfirst into a deadly chain of events. And at the centre of it all, a woman named Angélique, whose angelic intentions may not be all they seem . . .

Feverous, surprising and uplifting, Musso’s newest novel is a labyrinth of emotions where nothing is certain from one page to the next.

PARIS, a misty night a few days before Christmas: a young woman is saved from the waters of the Seine. Unable to remember her name or how she ended up in the river, she is taken to the hospital – only to disappear into thin air.

DNA testing reveals the mysterious woman to be famous pianist Milena Bergman – but that cannot be. Milena died in a plane crash over a year ago. As police captain Roxane begins to investigate, she is plunged deep into an impossible enigma . . .

Is it possible to be alive and dead at the same time?

‘It’s no wonder that Musso is one of France’s most loved, bestselling authors’
Harlan Coben

In 1999, after publishing three cult novels, celebrated author Nathan Fawles announces the end of his writing career and withdraws to Beaumont, a wild and beautiful island off the Mediterranean coast.

Autumn 2018. As Fawles’ novels continue to captivate readers, Mathilde Monney, a young Swiss journalist, arrives on the island, determined to unlock the writer’s secrets and secure his first interview in twenty years.

That same day, a woman’s body is discovered on the beach and the island is cordoned off by the authorities.

And so, begins a dangerous face off between Mathilde and Nathan, in which the line between truth and fiction becomes increasingly blurred…
