What you need to know before your trail
Wealthy and privileged, Alex has an easy path to success in the Parisian elite his father mingles with. But the two have never seen eye to eye. Desperate to escape the increasingly suffocating atmosphere of their apartment, Alex seeks freedom on the streets of Paris where his new-found friend Sami teaches him how to survive. But everything has a price – and one night of rebellion changes their lives forever.
A simple plan to steal money takes a sinister turn when Alex’s father is found dead. Despite protesting their innocence, both boys are imprisoned for murder. Seven years later Alex is released from prison with a single purpose: to discover who really killed his father. Yet as he searches for answers and atones for the sins of his past, Alex uncovers a disturbing truth with far-reaching consequences.
Travel Guide
Paris
The city is dark, dangerous and possibly deadly.
The train network is used a lot in the novel and is described in a very particular way.
“The tracks feed itno tunnels at Saint-Denis then fan out at the Gare du Nord like frayed wire.”
“The journey takes nine minutes, passing under Boulevard Peripherique – the road that slashes around Paris like a blade, severing the city from the suburbs. The Peri lies along the shadow of the old city wall that once defended Paris from the invading hordes.”
