Alex

In kidnapping cases, the first few hours are crucial.

After that, the chances of being found alive are slim.

Alex Prevost, beautiful, resourceful and tough, may be no ordinary victim, but her time is running out.

Commandant Camille Verhoeven and his detectives have nothing to go on: no suspect, no lead, rapidly diminishing hope.

All they know is that a girl was snatched off the streets of Paris and bundled into a white van.

The enigma that is the fate of Alex will keep Verhoeven guessing until the bitter end. And before long, saving her life will be the least of his worries.
