description: A virtuoso novel where logic confronts magic and that explores the part of ourselves that eludes usIn June 2021 a senseless event upends the lives of hundreds of men and women all passengers on a flight from Paris to New York. Among them: Blake a respectable family man though he works as a contract killer; Slimboy a Nigerian pop star tired of living a lie; Joanna a formidable lawyer whose flaws have caught up with her; and Victor Miesel a critically acclaimed yet commercially unsuccessful writer who suddenly becomes a cult hit. All of them believed they had double lives. None imagined just how true that was. This witty variation on the doppelgnger theme which takes us on a journey from Lagos and Mumbai to the White House is Herv Le Tellier's most ambitious work yet.
