ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Alice doesn't remember anything about last night. What is she doing in Central Park if yesterday she was in the Champs Elysé es? Alice Shä fer, captain of the Parisian crime squad, wakes up deeply disoriented. She is on a park bench; her blouse is blood-stained. She is carrying a weapon that isn't hers, and it is missing a bullet. And most troublingly of all, she is handcuffed to a stranger. The last thing she remembers is having drank more than usual with her friends at a party in the Champs Elysé es. The rest is a blur. Her only hope is that the man she is cuffed to might help her reconstruct the facts, but he is as bewildered as she is. His name is Gabriel Keyne, he is a jazz pianist, and he swears that the night before, he played in a club in Dublin. Things get even more disturbing when they realize that they have awoken in Central Park. How did they get to New York? Alice and Gabriel have no option but to trust each other to get to the bottom of this strange mystery. But the truth is even more hair-raising than they can imagine. . .
