Summary

On a stifling afternoon at Police HQ in Algiers, Superintendent Taleb, coasting towards retirement, is handed a ticking time bomb of a case which will take him deep into Algeria's troubled past and its fraught relationship with France. To his dismay, he is assigned to work with Agent Hidouchi, an intimidating representative of the country's feared secret service, who makes it clear she intends to call the shots. They are instructed to pursue a former agent, now on the run after twenty years in prison for his part in a high-level corruption scandal. But their search will lead them inexorably towards a greater mystery - one surrounding a murder that took place in Paris more than fifty years ago. Before long, Taleb will face a choice he has long sought to avoid: between self-preservation, and doing the right thing
