Summary

"[A] single, unexpected phone call to a man living quietly in Paris launches a chain of menacing encounters and events, unlocking a dark secret he had erased from memory" --

Jean Daragane has built a life of total solitude in his Paris apartment. Then a surprising phone call shatters the silence, and the threatening voice on the other end of the line leaves Daragane entangled with a shady gambler and a beautiful, fragile young woman, who draw Daragane into the mystery of a decades-old murder. The investigation will force him to confront the memory of a trauma he had all but buried.
