Simon is very much a man of his time. He works in a multimedia store, leads a fairly monotonous life, and spends most of his evenings with his friend and colleague, Phong.
It is Phong who introduces him to an adult webcam site, where Simon soon becomes captivated by Isobel_2172. Blonde, mesmerising, addictive. He sees her everywhere, thinks of nothing but her, and can't get the image of her smile—or the way she gently brushes a loose strand of blonde hair from her face—out of his mind.
From webcam sessions to late-night conversations, from exchanged phone numbers to endless calls, Simon eventually travels to the Baie de Somme to meet her. But what awaits him there is far beyond anything he could ever have imagined: the man has struck again.
In this novel, Frédéric Beth once again explores the darkest labyrinths of the human mind.
