Two strangers, traveling alone, on the train from Belgrade to Istanbul. Except this isn't the first time they have met. <p/>It's the 1960s and Louise is running. From her past in England, from the owners of the money she has stolen--and from Henri, the person who has been sent to collect it. Across the Continent--from Granada to Paris, from Belgrade to Istanbul--Henri follows, desperate to leave behind his own troubles. The memories of his past life as a gendarme in Algeria that keep resurfacing. His inability to reconcile the growing responsibilities of his current criminal path with this former self. <p/>But Henri soon realizes that Louise is no ordinary mark. As the train hurtles toward its final destination, Henri and Louise must decide what the future will hold--and whether it involves one another.</p>
