Susan Boyer, the only daughter of the wealthy Belgian couple Hélène and Gilbert Boyer, is abducted under mysterious circumstances in 1985. The ransom demanded is a sumptuous piece of jewellery owned by the family which is a copy of a famous royal necklace. But the handover goes badly wrong – the police are accused of intervening ineptly, while the parents are accused of acting impetuously and against the advice of the authorities. The upshot is that the ransom is never recovered and all trace is lost of Susan. What has become of her? Could she have been behind her own disappearance – was she an accomplice of the kidnappers? Does one have the right to mourn her fate, or should one cast judgement on her?
Thirty-four years later, the necklace will feature in a subtle but implacable plot that will finally lift the veil on the actors in this drama. A book full of engaging and intriguing characters, an ironic tone, and delicious dialogues – all of Sophie Endelys’ trademarks are present and correct.
