Exquisite forgeries. Espionage. Hidden codes. Doctor Genevieve Lenard's carefully structured life is thrown into disarray when a brutally beaten stranger collapses on her doorstep. The desperate words he mumbles before slipping into unconsciousness spark a torrent of alarming questions. And as his broken hand relaxes to reveal a bloody item he’d been clutching with the last of his strength, the urgency of this situation heightens exponentially. Genevieve and her team embark on a harrowing journey to uncover the man’s identity and his reasons for showing up at her home. As they peel back the layers of deceit and corruption, they uncover a conspiracy that could unravel a web of secrets reaching the highest echelons of the French government, where trust is a luxury and a single choice could have dire consequences. With every discovery, it becomes evident that the case is far more expansive than they anticipated, posing a real and imminent threat—not only to their lives but also to the lives of thousands of innocent civilians. Genevieve must venture far beyond her comfort zone to unravel the threads of this deadly mystery before it's too late.

Estelle Ryan was born in South Africa and spent her childhood being surrounded by African beauty, nature and diversity of cultures. Her first trip to Europe at the tender age of 16 transformed her world into a much larger place, endless in its possibilities and places to explore. For most of her adulthood she’s travelled all over the world, lived on a few continents, explored numerous cultures and still is insatiable in the quest to still the hunger for more life experiences. She’s written for numerous international magazines, was the editor of a European lifestyle magazine and has seven romance novels published under a pseudonym. With her interest in international politics, arts, crime, behavioural psychology, criminal psychology and music, she decided to combine all these elements in her writing. And so Genevieve and the team came into being. She is an unabashed coffeeshopaholic. Good coffee, ambience and music in the perfect combination is all that is required to turn a mundane coffee shop into her 'office'. The appropriate coffee shop is chosen depending on the mood, the weather, the type and amount of work that needs to be done, and of course the craving of the day. All of her books have been written in numerous coffee shops all over the world.
