Un thriller psychologique au cœur des inquiétantes favelas de Rio…

"Je commence par taper mon ancien nom, Ella Black.

Mes doigts tremblent. J’ai besoin de savoir qui je suis.

Je ne sais pas qui je suis."

Un thriller magistral qui vous emmènera de Londres la grise aux inquiétantes et fascinantes favelas de Rio.

-

Ella Black looks, to the outside world, like a girl who has it all. She studies hard, has a boyfriend who’s not really her boyfriend, a best friend she depends on, and parents who are almost too nice.

But nobody knows what she’s really like: her dark side, Bella, is always threatening to take control, and it’s often a struggle for Ella to get through the days without doing something terrible.

Everything changes when her parents take her out of school in the middle of a day and whisk her away to Rio, the place of her dreams, without telling her why. She loves it, but has no idea what’s going on.

Until she finds out. And then she finds herself on the run, in a race against the clock, under the hot Brazilian sun.

Maggie's idea of starting over after breaking up with her boyfriend isn't working out as planned. Instead of the fabulous career, shopping with friends, and dinner parties she'd imagined, all she has is a lonely flat, and although it pays well, her job at Vixenz isn't worth writing home about.

Life picks up for Maggie when she accidentally discovers that she can overhear everything in her neighbors' flat. When her new neighbor David announces to his wife Libby that they and their infant son Charlie are off to Cuba on sabbatical, the travel bug is very contagious, and it doesn't take Maggie long to decide that Libby and David are not going alone...

For Lucy Riddick, Venice has always been the dream destination. A dream inspired by the pretty picture pinned to her mother’s kitchen wall. To Lucy, Venice seems the ideal place to lose herself. And now she needs to do just that. The secret she’s been keeping from her boyfriend and her friends has finally caught up with her and Lucy needs to disappear – and fast. There’s no better time to pack her bags and head for Italy. But what if, when she sets foot in Venice, Lucy finds that the one thing she has been running from, the one thing she has been trying to escape, is already there, lying in wait for her? Time to run away again? Or time to end the chase, once and for all?
