2023: Is it possible to be alive and dead at the same time?
The Stranger in the Seine
What you need to know before your trail
Paris, a misty night a few days before Christmas: a young woman is saved from the waters of the Seine. She is naked, doesn’t remember her name or how she ended up in the river, but is still alive. The mysterious woman is taken to the hospital – and then disappears in thin air.
DNA testing reveals her to be celebrated concert pianist Milena Bergman – but that cannot be: Milena died in a plane crash more than a year before. As police captain Roxane begins to investigate, her fate becomes intertwined with that of writer Raphaël Batailley, Milena’s former boyfriend, and the two are plunged deep into an impossible enigma: is it possible to be alive and dead at the same time?

Paris
Well this is an interesting view and visit to Paris! The darkest streets,the police station and the dubious parts of the Seine that reveals dead bodies or near to dead bodies.
The city is well evoked and the police cars go around them visiting various sites and marking off places of interest. You could pretty much do a murder trail with this book!
The city of lights is dark in this novel. There’s a quick jaunt to Lyon and to Nice but you will have to read the book to find out why.
