Winner of the CWA International Dagger Award 2013.

In kidnapping cases, the first few hours are crucial. After that, the chances of being found alive go from slim to nearly none. Alex Prévost - beautiful, resourceful, tough - may be no ordinary victim, but her time is running out.

Commandant Camille Verhœven and his detectives have nothing to go on: no suspect, no lead, rapidly diminishing hope. All they know is that a girl was snatched off the streets of Paris and bundled into a white van.

The enigma that is the fate of Alex will keep Verhœven guessing until the bitter, bitter end. And before long, saving her life will be the least of his worries.

I don’t know what to think of this book. I chose Barbara Nadel because I watched a doco on Agatha Christie’s Piorot with David Suchet and she was mentioned as the Turkish Agatha Christie. Far from in fact. Nothing like her genre. The story started promising but quickly turned into a foul mouthed entertainer turned religious with people around her turning her toward the light. It got really boring with all the religious ramblings and less about the detective side of the plot. I didn’t get too far, chapter 5 I managed to get through when I had had enough. Not the book for me and will not be listening to any others written by the same author.
