Alex Prevost - kidnapped, savagely beaten, suspended from the ceiling of an abandoned warehouse in a wooden cage - is running out of time. Her abductor appears to want only to watch her die.

Apart from a shaky eyewitness report, Police Commandant Camille Verhoeven has nothing to go on: no suspect, no leads. To find the young woman, the detective - a man with a tragic past and extraordinary abilities as an investigator - must first understand more about her.

Beautiful, tough, resourceful, always two steps ahead - the enigma that is Alex will keep Verhoeven guessing till the bitter, bitter end. Before long, saving Alex's life will be the least of Verhoeven's considerable challenges.
