Petra Rebovka aka Louise Charriere, an operational officer with the
security services, travels on her first assignment to the Limousin
region of France to infiltrate a people trafficking operation. In
the guise of a student, she arrives in Limoges to work undercover.
Her main contact is Jean-Marie Fauchet, a retired ex-gendarme. He
assists her to meet Alexis, a potential informer who, not only
leads her inadvertently into danger, but also forms a romantic
liaison with her. His Russian grandmother befriends Petra and
reveals a secret linked to the Russian revolution and kept hidden
for almost a century. Fascinated by the old woman's reminiscences,
Petra resolves to discover the truth. An investigation into the
deaths of two young French males in the U.K. brings Petra into
confrontation with her old adversary, Detective Chief Inspector
Massey, who arrives in France accompanied by a colleague. Clashes
of personality and previous antagonisms hinder the inquiry until
the action moves to Marseille. Petra and her detective colleagues
are forced to put aside their differences to prevent the success of
a plot to send Al Qaeda-trained suicide bombers to the U.K. A raid
by the security services at the villa of Michel Dumas, a wealthy
businessman suspected of involvement with terrorist activities,
places Petra and the English detectives in danger. Petra is
confused by the main aspects of the investigation and the roles of
the participants in the security operation. Though masquerading as
a student under an assumed name, she is determined to discover the
truth about the assignment, the radical views of Alexis and the
incredible ramblings of his grandmother. Once again, the mystery
surrounding Nicholas II, the last Tsar of All the Russias,
threatens to rewrite history. Added to this, the imminent threat of
terrorist activity in the U.K. causes unexpected twists and turns
in the outcome of Petra's journey of discovery
