Interpol agent Alex Quinn, 29, born to Italian-Turkish parents, is a multi-lingual genius. With an advanced degree in Criminal Psychology from a university in France and a PHD from a Germany university, Alex was recruited by Interpol at the age of 25 - their youngest recruit - because of her encyclopedic knowledge of serial killers. In a desolate landscape in Turkey, a body is found murdered beside the flames of Chimaera - victim of a serial killer with a twisted theology, and whose work is just beginning - unless Alex can stop him in time.
