Desperate to evade the assassin, she enlists the help of two vibrant musicians to act as her camouflage. When the worlds of contemporary music collide with haute cuisine, unexpected twists await. And as secrets from the past resurface, a thrilling investigation ensues. It’s your chance to unravel the mystery and shed light on this dark affair!

Embark on a journey through Lyon’s hidden streets and charming locales, from the banks of the Rhône to the bustling City Hall.
