Title : High Voltage - Ingrid Astier - Book

Summary :

"How many apocalypses can one carry within oneself?" On the outskirts of Paris, a wealthy Saudi's convoy speeds through the night. An unprecedented attack occurs, worthy of the finest teams. "A great albatross" for Commander Suarez and his men from the anti-banditry brigade, stunned by the scope of the affair. Enough to distract them for a while from their obsession with the Gecko - a living legend who strolls the rooftops of Paris, gold on his fingers, as if it were his home, from the dome of the Institut de France to the Saint-Eustache church... Who is the mastermind behind this bloody attack? The convoy's most precious loot, however, is neither money nor diamonds. But a woman, Ylana, as beautiful as she is lost. Ranko is a hardened loner with incredible willpower. But also a man on edge, affected by the history of the former Yugoslavia. The attack on the convoy brings them together. Ranko's destiny has irrevocably changed. Her uncle, Astrakhan, seals this fate by giving her a chess set. The set of Svetozar Gligoric, the grandmaster who carved his pieces from wine corks. And he asks her to fight—at boxing and chess—to infiltrate the art world and steal its finest works from Enki Bilal, the famous artist. War and love hover like vultures. The police, a woman, or fate—who is capable of bringing Ranko down?
