“One of France’s best thriller authors“ — Le Monde

A downpour. Strong winds. In a few minutes, the small town of Woodfoll in Canada’s Great North is devastated by an extremely violent storm. All that remains is an apocalyptic landscape.

Even the high security prison didn’t withstand this extreme weather. The electricity blackout unlocked its doors, releasing the most dangerous murderers, rapists, pedophiles and serial killers.

When savagely mutilated bodies are found, everyone immediately accuses the escaped prisoners. But are they really guilty? Lou Grynspan, a former profiler of the Quebec police, leads an investigation that will reach the edge of reason. A journey through hell that will haunt her, day and night.
