Meanwhile, Lylie, now a beautiful university student, entrusts a secret notebook into the hands of Marc, the brooding young man who loves her, and then vanishes. As he contemplates taking his own life, Crédule Grand-Duc suddenly discovers a secret hidden in plain view. In contrast, the de Carvilles, who amassed a fortune in the oil business, are powerful-and dangerous.Įighteen years later, a private detective tasked with solving the mystery of the girl known as “Lylie” is on the verge of giving up. Dogged by bad luck, the Vitrals live a simple life, selling snacks from a van on the beaches of northern France. Is “the Miracle Child of Mont Terri” Lyse-Rose or Emilie? The families of both girls step forward to claim the child. The sole survivor is a three-month-old girl–thrown from the airliner before fire consumes the cabin. Of the 169 passengers, all but one perish. Within seconds flames engulf the plane, which is filled with holiday travelers. Just after midnight on December 23, 1980, a night flight bound for Paris plummets toward the Swiss Alps, crashing into a snowy mountainside. “Wonderfully ingenious and altogether satisfying.”-Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review
