Fio Régale es una joven pelirroja de veintidós años. Reside en un espacioso apartamento parisiense, adora el té sin azúcar y la nieve, pinta cuadros y se gana la vida chantajeando al azar a hombres poderosos y adinerados: no necesita decirles qué han hecho ni qué información posee ella; uno de cada diez, paga. Sin duda lo lleva en los genes: su madre era atracadora de bancos y su padre un policía que, en lugar de detenerla, prefirió enamorarse de ella. Sin embargo, pese a que Fio se quedó huérfana a los seis años, ha sabido salir adelante. Page, one of the bright new talents of French letters, adds to his sardonic outlook a soft poetic touch, as fragile as a dragonfly, in this amusing Parisian satire on art, fraud and life, centered around Fio Régale, a young and beautiful red-haired art fraudster.
