When she meets her lover, Klaus, at the airport, Claudia sees his head explode just as she is about to kiss him. Her universe also explodes. Hounded, terrified, she finds herself in the midst of international intrigues in which, among other things, a mysterious group is blackmailing several multinational corporations. What conspiracy is hidden behind this blackmail ? Helped - or used ? - by a parallel intelligence agency that has no legal existence and wanting to avenge her lover, Claudia finds an unexpected ally: Bamboo Joe, the secret agent that looks like a Zen monk in a three-piece suit. But there is also Limbo, the hit man battling with agonizing memories from his past. Whose side is he on ? And why do some people insist on speaking of Klaus as if he were still alive ? |
