A young woman wakes in a hospital room. What happened to her and why is a mystery. Is she victim or murderer? The young woman has been badly injured in a fire and has amnesia. But what happened to her? Is she Mi, Micky or Michele, or Do, Dominique? As she struggles to rebuild her identity, she starts to recall the crime that was committed and the house on the French Riviera. She remembers the rich heiress and the faithful friend - but which is she?
' A brilliant story. ' Evening Standard ' By clever switching between first and third-person narrative Japrisot make this fantastic plot the acceptable framework of a plausible and grimly logical yarn.

' Oxford Mail ' With an instantly recognisable style and great story-telling techniques, he might be called the Graham Greene of France' The Independent ' The most welcome talent since the early Simenons' New York Times ' Utterly captivating' The Guardian ' Combines huge intellectual grasp with fascinating narrative, strong grues, fine writing . . . and an unforgettable protagonist. . . A superb achievement' Sunday Times
