Description
No one must know about this. A sinister thriller about secrets, fear, and retribution.
A dark, tense psychological thriller about memory, guilt, and punishment. When the truth has been buried for decades, and then—twenty years later—it finally surfaces, the thirst for revenge takes on truly destructive power.
After a sudden attack, Valerian Duxing awakens in a secluded house deep in the woods—in a bathtub slowly filling with water, with her hands and legs tied, and a gag in her mouth. She is saved by a pizza delivery person who just happened to be in the right place at the right time. The kidnapper vanishes without a trace, but leaves behind a mysterious inscription on the wall: “NCHS/1.”
Relying only on instinct, Major Louise Comon from the Criminal Investigations department has no doubt: this is only the beginning of a series of crimes, and she launches into a desperate race against death. Who will be the next victim? And what lies behind the chain of ominous events?
