Chapter One The rain came down in sheets that Thursday evening, coating the cobblestones of Montmartre in a slick obsidian sheen. Marguerite had not planned to be here — not in this city, not on this particular corner where the lamplight pooled like spilled amber, not facing a stranger whose face she somehow already knew. She pressed her back against the doorframe. "You followed me." "No," he said quietly. "I arrived first." Her notebook was damp. Three years of research, two dozen interviews, one inexplicable photograph — and now this: a man who shouldn't exist, standing in the rain as if he had nowhere more important to be. She had not believed in ghosts until last Tuesday. Chapter Two The archive smelled of cedar and slow decay. Row upon row of grey filing boxes stretched into the vaulted darkness above. In the reading room a single lamp burned. Someone had been here recently — a coffee ring on the oak table, still warm. She opened the box marked 1947–1952. Third folder. Third page. Her own handwriting. Impossible. The date at the top: seventeen years before she was born. Chapter Three Dawn came the colour of old newsprint. She had not slept. The manuscript lay across the kitchen table, every margin crowded with notes — hers, she thought, though her hand refused to recognise the script. Outside, the city was waking: a motorbike, a shutter thrown open, a single church bell deciding it was time. She made coffee. She read the pages again. By the third pass she understood that the story had been waiting for her — that it had always been waiting — and that finishing it was the only thing left to do. ─ ─ ─ Chapter One The rain came down in sheets that Thursday evening, coating the cobblestones of Montmartre in a slick obsidian sheen.
