Infos

The lingering scent of vanilla haunts Mark Olsen, a constant reminder of his wife Anna's disappearance a year ago. Their idyllic San Diego life, filled with sunset picnics and whispered secrets, shatters when a cryptic email reveals a woman he never knew: Anna Ramos, not Anna Klein. Two strangers, Lisa and Kristin, claim to be Anna's friends, pulling Mark into a world of deceit and shadowy organizations.  Anna's past is a tangled web of forged documents, burner phones, and a secret trip to Barcelona under a false identity. This wasn't a simple vanishing; it was a meticulously planned escape. But from whom? And why?
Mark, a forensic accountant, dives into Anna's fabricated world, deciphering encrypted messages, uncovering offshore accounts, and chasing whispers of a dangerous figure known only as 'Silas.'  Each clue leads him deeper into a world of international espionage and corporate intrigue, transforming the sun-kissed streets of San Diego into a menacing chessboard.  Lisa and Kristin, bound to Anna by a shared past at a secluded Swiss convent school, reveal fragments of Anna's desperate attempts to break free from 'The Circle,' a powerful organization that manipulates global markets. They paint a portrait of a woman torn between a fabricated present and a terrifying past, desperately trying to protect the man she loved - Mark - from the dangerous repercussions of her double life.
As Mark unravels Anna's secrets, the danger escalates. Anonymous threats, ransacked apartments, and unseen eyes tailing his every move make it clear that the stakes are higher than he could have imagined.  His pursuit of the truth leads him to a dusty antique bookstore in Barcelona and a cryptic manuscript rumored to hold the key to dismantling The Circle. He uncovers a hidden compartment in Anna's jewelry box, revealing a miniature photograph of a young girl, a clue to her true identity, a past she desperately tried to bury.  From Prague's shadowy streets, where a disillusioned codebreaker helps decipher the manuscript, to a heart-pounding confrontation in a secluded Mediterranean villa, Mark races against time to expose Silas and his intricate web of lies. But can he uncover the truth about Anna and survive the consequences?  And will he ever truly know the woman he loved?
