At the heart of the DGSE, France’s foreign intelligence agency, there is a top-secret entity whoe members have one mission: eliminate those who lash out at France. Edgar is part of this elite team. He is in his thirties and has several targeted assassinations under his belt. He takes no joy in it other than his desire to defend the French Republic. His newest target is a French woman known as the “White Widow” who is taking refuge in Afghanistan. This woman is a member of the minor nobility and a terrifying legend. Because, for her, killing is pure joy. In Paris, Edgar tracks the contacts who could lead him to the Widow, while in Kabul, no one can believe that a woman, moreover a Westerner, is directing a terrorist cell. Then the kidnapping of four nurses working for an NGO reshuffles the cards. Edgar agrees to an unusual collaboration with the legendary police chief Oussama Kandar, a man of undisputed rigor and integrity in a country eaten away by clan-based struggles. The hunt for the Widow will lead Oussama and Edgar to the Iran border. There, the majestic Towers of Silence, ancient vestiges of the Zoroastrian faith, dominate an unexpected paradise of marshes and wild birds. The top of these towers, where death and the sky meet, will be the site for the ultimate clash between the French aristocrat devoted to evil and the young spy who kills in the name of France.
