SYNOPSIS

Cut off from the world for its own protection, the city has nonetheless
continued to expand. Now, 21st century skyscrapers overlay centuries-old
architectural masterpieces. And below street level, a sophisticated network
of streamlined plazas push up against the city's ancient, deteriorating
tunnel systems.



In 2054 Paris, the Metro is still running, the Eiffel Tower and Sacre Coeur
are still standing, but new layers of architecture have been grafted onto the
city's ancient edifice. Bridges have been altered, and a glass-like floor now
covers a subterranean commercial center at the base of Notre Dame Cathedral.
Equally imposing is the Avalon Corporation. Everywhere in the city, talking
billboards soothe the populace with an interrupted message selling ageless
beauty. Ageing and physical corruption has increasingly become an obsession.
The people of Paris want youth and Avalon wants to sell it to them.



When 22-year-old Ilona, one of Avalon's most promising scientists, is abruptly
kidnapped, Avalon calls on Barthelemy Karas, a Paris cop with a hard-fought
reputation for finding anyone, no matter what sacrifices he has to make along
the way. As the trail gets hot, Karas senses he's not the only one looking
for the beautiful enigma, and every witness he digs up seems to turn up dead.



Ilona and her sister, Bislane, were orphans rescued from the brutal, war-torn
Caucasia region so that the prodigal younger sister would eventually work at
Avalon, where she was mentored by the great geneticist Jonas Muller. The
sisters separated as Ilona became deeply immersed in her work: Bislane fell
into a life in the underworld, and Muller gave up his brilliant career to
open a clinic for the city's poor.



If Avalon vice president Paul Delienbach knows anything about the mysterious
project Ilona may have been involved in - something called the Renaissance
Protocol - he isn't talking.




To find Ilona and unlock the secrets of her disappearance, Karas must plunge
deep into the parallel worlds of corporate espionage, organized crime and
genetic research where the truth imprisons whomever finds it first and
miracles can either save the world, or end it.
