French Riviera, Spring 2023
Off the coast of Cannes, a yacht drifts between the Lérins Islands. On board lies Oriana Di Pietro, an Italian publisher and heiress to a famous Milanese family. Brutally attacked, she succumbs after ten days in a coma.
Who killed Oriana?
A man and three women offer their version of the story: Adrien, the victim's husband, a seductive and mysterious jazz pianist; the elusive Adèle, his young mistress; Justine, the local police officer in charge of the investigation; and finally, Oriana herself, through the harrowing account of the last weeks of her life.
No one is lying.
But no one agrees on the truth . . .
