Pascal Durtal thought he had buried the memories of the neon-saturated alleys of the metropolis and the plunges in the meanders of the Network. Sheltered in his haven of peace, far from the grip of corporations, he believed he had finished with the adrenaline discharges of clandestine operations and the absurd violence that governed his life before. But when his former mentor reminds him of a final mission, Pascal must put on the habit of the nervi: henchman, spy, factotum. An instrument in the pay of the powerful. Caught in a web of manipulations combining corporatist rivalries, cutting-edge technologies and forgotten mythologies, he begins an odyssey through a fractured Europe, where every corner of the City’s shadows holds the ghosts of his past.
