What if to survive, you had to erase all trace of yourself? A chillingly realistic psychological suspense.
Sylvie leads a banal, meticulously controlled life. But when her brother Antoine, mired in debts and schemes, threatens to take his own life, she has no choice: she must act. Fast. She plunges into the gray zones of the system. An invisible civil servant, she becomes the architect of a disappearance. What she thought would be an exceptional transgression spirals out of control. One fake document leads to another. A sidestep becomes a project. What if this plunge into illegality becomes the only way to finally exist?
In the wake of her methodical escape, Sylvie—now Diane—discovers a form of freedom as intoxicating as it is dangerous. But the human factor, that unpredictable chaos woven from emotions, desires, and accidents, is never far away…
With precise, rhythmic, and addictive prose, Jean-Christophe Tixier creates a disturbing psychological suspense, taut as a wire, where every decision can accelerate the fall.
