Lucy Chan, a CIA officer, survived an explosion that should have been fatal. Ironically, it was the agency that employs her that decided on this targeted strike that doomed her. Enough to make her want to look dead and disappear. But there is one woman in the CIA who cannot believe that Lucy is just another mortal.
Her former trainer, Darby Owens, now deputy director of the Agency, is determined to find the young woman. Because an invisible agent, whom everyone thinks is dead and who no longer appears in any register, can sometimes be of invaluable service. At the French-German border, it is necessary to go and see what is going on...
From secret shenanigans to explosive battles, Jean-Hugues Oppel guides us in the footsteps of two women who play a shady game on the chessboard of international dealings.
