Summary
A plane loaded with weapons explodes above the Gulf of Guinea. An
escort girl is murdered in a Parisian car park. Thousands of
miles may separate these two events but could they be in some way
connected? Nora Chayd, a police inspector with a reputation
for strong arm tactics, is charged with investigating the Paris murder
but she soon comes into conflict with her superiors. Meanwhile,
Victor Bornand, a government offial, is busy trying to dampen the
political crisis caused by the explosion. As Nora’s investigation
brings her ever closer to the higher echelons of power, a series of
murders and betrayals conspire to thwart her and prevent the truth from
being known. This is, after all, an affaire of the State...
