Paris, 1963. Behind Severine Kassel’s carefully crafted image as the Louvre’s most respected jewellery curator lies a woman haunted by unspeakable trauma.

Her shocking revelation sets off a frenzied hunt for former Nazi officer Ruda Mayek. As Severine follows Mayek’s trail, the tightly controlled life she’s built around herself is shattered. Will her own carefully guarded secrets be revealed?
