Summary
One sunny winter’s morning a coach laden with tourists careers off the
road and plunges into an icy lake in the Pyrenees. Fifty are
killed. But this is not a straightforward road accident; it is an
execution authorised by someone high up in the interest of national
security. The only witness to the mass killing is Victorien, who
saw that the passengers were gassed before they drowned.
Realising that he has stumbled onto something big, Victorien sets out
to find those responsible, but ends up getting himself killed.
His aunt, Amanda Weber, carries on the investigation, determined to
avenge the death of her nephew...
