Fiction

Ivan, a world traveller, and Italian heiress Francesca are the owners of an out-of-the-ordinary bookshop in a corner of Paris in which passion for literature overrides bestsellers and titles are chosen by a top-secret committee of like minded connoisseurs. It is a huge success, but then they are hit by a tirade of venomous, anonymous threats on the internet and members of the secret committee are attacked. One by one, the pieces of the puzzle fall ominously into place, as it becomes increasingly evident that Francesca and Ivan's dreams will be met with envy and violence.
