An atmospheric detective novel that became a global bestseller that talks about crime and mystery, about art and loneliness.
Madeline, a London ex-policewoman, rents a painter's studio in Paris to give herself the solitude she needs to find peace. Through a misunderstanding, Gaspard, a misanthropic American writer, shows up at her door with the same goal: to isolate himself in order to write his play. These two troubled souls, desperately seeking solitude, are forced to coexist.
The studio belonged to the famous painter Sean Lorenz and still exudes his passion for color and light. It has been a year since Lorenz, devastated by the kidnapping and murder of his son, died, leaving behind three paintings that have since disappeared. Enchanted by his genius, Madeline and Gaspard join forces to discover these paintings of rare beauty, but in their attempt to uncover the real secret, they come face to face with their own demons.
They said about the book:

–Michel Dufranne, RTBF
"Incredible, unbearable suspense! From the moment you open it, you won't let it go. You have many sleepless nights ahead of you..."
–Marc Fernandez, Metronews
"A detective novel with a technique that causes dizziness. Once again Musso captivates us."
–Pierre Vavasseur, Le Parisien
"Really addictive!"
–Emmanuelle Binet, Marie Claire
