Seven books. Seven mysteries. One journalist who won’t stop digging.
THE DEAD LETTERS SERIES
Follow Émilie Vidal—former war correspondent, current police archivist—as she follows the threads connecting the mysteries unfolding around her—and within her own past. From corporate boardrooms to hospital corridors, from banking towers to media empires, corruption runs deeper than anyone wants to admit.
Each investigation peels back another layer. Each book reveals a new truth. And some secrets have been buried for very good reasons.
BOOK ONE
THE PAPER TRAIL
Three missing women. Three cold cases. One pattern no one wanted found.
Émilie Vidal left war reporting behind for a quiet job in the Paris police archives. No more Kabul dust, no more Damascus rubble—just file folders and silence. Then she finds the pattern.
BOOK TWO
THE DAMASCUS FILE
Three years of guilt. A sister who faked her death. And the pharmaceutical conspiracy that killed twelve people to keep one journalist silent.
Émilie Vidal has carried Damascus for three years like a stone. Twelve people dead in a safehouse raid—activists, journalists, medical volunteers—all because her article exposed their location. Or so she believed.
BOOK THREE
THE MARSEILLE ACCOUNT
A widow’s suspicion. A dead executive’s hidden files. And a banking network that kills to stay hidden.
The café in Marseille was supposed to be Émilie’s refuge. A place where she and Masson could finally build something that didn’t involve corruption networks and dead witnesses. Then Catherine Mercier walks in with a folder full of evidence.
BOOK FOUR
THE MEMORY VAULT
Seventeen archivists. All dead. And the mentor who taught Émilie how to read silence has just become the eighteenth.
Three days after the Marseille investigation closes, an anonymous envelope arrives at the café. Inside: a list of seventeen names, each followed by a date and a location.
BOOK FIVE
THE RIVIERA SHELL
The French Riviera runs on money that doesn’t want to be found. Émilie Vidal is about to find it.
An anonymous letter leads her to a hilltop cemetery above Nice and a dead accountant’s grave. Hidden beneath the headstone for twenty-seven years: ledger pages written in a civil servant’s precise hand.
BOOK SIX
THE HIPPOCRATIC FILES
A regional journalist’s “suicide.” A private hospital with a body count. And a sister who resurfaces with a secret that will nearly cost her life.
Lyon in January is colder than Émilie remembers, and it’s waiting for her with four words on a burner phone: The Hippocratic files. Lyon.
BOOK SEVEN
THE CONFESSION BOX
A sister in a coma. Eleven hours of confession from a dying man with nothing left to protect. And a name at the center of it all that Émilie has been circling since the Paris archives of Book One.
Sophie survives the attack, but only barely—a medically induced coma, a corridor vigil, an investigation that has to run without her for three long weeks.
