ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A fast-paced psychological thriller that's an incisive reflection on identity, revenge, and family secrets.

Within days of losing her husband in a traffic accident, Laura Cohen, a Spanish psychiatrist based in Montreal, takes as a patient a man traumatized by his past. When he disappears without a trace after the third session, Laura begins her search, enticed by an unexpected connection between the man and her deceased husband. This investigation will plunge her into a dangerous web of conspiracies, kidnappings, hidden experiments, and torture dating back to World War II and the Holocaust, and lead her to question her origins, her marriage, and her life up to that point.

Mercedes de Vega changes register with her most ambitious work: supported by a brilliantly worked prose and a well-defined description of the characters, she weaves a plot of intrigue interlaced to perfection, riddled with twists and surprising revelations, which does not slow down her addictive rhythm or for a moment.
