Description
On the dashboard of my patrol car, the needle points to 180. My fingers are clenched on the steering wheel. A billboard stands back from the road. The reproduction of a portrait of a little blonde girl has only one message: Help us find Rosalie Lavoie, 4 years old. My heart sinks and, as I turn on the flashing light, I notice without paying attention that its glow randomly smears the name tag pinned to the back of my shirt. Because if there is one thing I am certain of, it is that I do not need it to remind myself that the letters embedded there form the same last name as Rosalie's.
My name is Alice Lavoie and this is our story.
An open conflict between two powerful families in the Baie-Saint-Paul art world culminates in the 1990s with the kidnapping of little Rosalie Lavoie. In the background, the never-solved theft of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in 1972 and a mythical painting that occult forces are trying to appropriate.
Suspended from the SQ following an intervention that went awry after her sister's disappearance, a young patrol officer will discover that her family's past hides a world of dissimulation where the truth has many faces.
