A Franco-British murder investigation befitting of the « Twilight Zone »…

Sames ages, same jobs, similar homes. The lives of Gilles and Corinne Beauvois are the perfect mirror image of those of their friends Calvin and Ursula Saddler. And what happens to the Beauvois usually happens to the Saddlers a short time afterwards. However, there’s one difference: the Beavois live in Lille and the Saddlers live in London.

After the French couple is found dead in a car accident, only one question eats away at Calvin: to what degree are their lives really similar? Now that the Beauvois are dead, are the Saddlers next?

Calvin, a detective with Scotland Yard, goes to Lille and quickly discovers that the deaths of his friends was far from accidental. With the help of Gilles’s protégé, they investigate their way to a truth far bigger than they could have imagined. But will this truth manage to keep him and Ursula alive?

Bruno Vanlan, originally from Lille, is a retired officer of the court. This is his first novel.
