A kidnapped daughter. A rigged election. A family under siege.
Former French special forces intelligence analyst Mélisende is desperate for recovery time after a gruelling mission. But when enforcers attack her family home in rural France, she uncovers a shocking truth - her sister-in-law's gambling debt has put them all in danger.
Before Mel can untangle the crisis, she is ordered to Germany, where the daughter of Achim Nessler - the front-runner for chancellor - has been abducted. The kidnappers' goal? To force Nessler to throw the upcoming election, paving the way for a hard-right victory that could upend not just Germany, but all of Europe.
Racing against time, Mel and fellow investigator Jeff McCracken dive into the murky world of extremist politics where old wounds and new betrayals collide. But as their hunt leads them deep into eastern Germany's shadows, Mel discovers a chilling link between the case and her own family's troubles.
Now, with both a nation's future and her loved ones at stake, Mel must risk everything to stop a conspiracy that hits closer to home than she ever imagined.
