About This Book

During a Paris honeymoon a young bride vanishes, leaving her husband and local witnesses to supply conflicting accounts while an investigator grapples with uncertain memory and scarce motive. The narrative follows the unfolding inquiry and its effect on personal relationships, social perception, and legal curiosity, combining atmospheric urban detail with quiet psychological suspense. Recurring concerns include the instability of recollection, the disparity between outward appearances and inner truth, and the ways ordinary domestic life can be dislodged by a single, unexplained event.
