Synopsis
Two young women are at a beach house in southern France when it mysteriously catches fire. One woman is a wealthy heiress, and the other is poor. One woman is responsible for the fire, and the other is her victim. One woman dies, and the other survives--but she is completely burned and has lost her memory. The surviving woman could be the heiress, or perhaps not. Only one person knows the truth.
Publisher's Notes
First Line: "Suddenly there is a great burst of white light, blinding me. Someone leans over me, a voice stabs my head, I hear screams echoing in distant corridors, but I know they are mine. I breathe in blackness through my mouth, a blackness peopled with strange faces, with murmurs, and I die again, happy."
Industry Reviews
"The most welcome talent in the detective story to reach us from France since the early Simenons."
