A deeply disturbing noir novel about a young woman trapped in a toxic and violent relationship.

Sandrine is in her thirties and hates herself. Having grown up with an abusive father, she has isolated herself from the world.
One day, a happily married woman disappears while jogging. Sandrine takes over her place. When the case is broadcasted everywhere, Sandrine gets closer to the devastated husband. She even moves in with him, but turns a blind eye to the man’s insidious and violent behavior, which doesn't compare to her past suffering.
But then the first wife reappears out of the blue and Sandrine’s world falls apart. Who is really behind the facade of the devastated husband?
