Dany Longo is blond, beautiful, passionate, disturbed, and mysterious behind her dark glasses as she speeds in a purloined white Thunderbird on along ride from Paris to the south of France. No one, including Dany, knows exactly where she is going or why. And no one can guess that she is nearsighted behind her shades, timid beneath her chic, and unaware of the sinister maze of sex, deception, and murder that has entrapped her. Throughout the journey Dany finds traces of her self along the way----even in places she has never been. Has she plunged into someone else's nightmare? Is she the killer the local police are searching for? Or is someone, with devlish cunning, using her as a pawn in a deadly game? The answer lies in the meaning of four objects---the lady, the car, the glasses and the gun----each holding a clue to the puzzle of Dany's identity and the secret she harbors.This simmering noir thriller places Sebastein Japrisot in the ranks of such classic mystery writers as Jim Thompson and Georges Simerous and creates a tantalizing portrait of a nocturnal world where intrigue, violence, and heart--stopping danger are never more than a page way.
