"Meet the residents of number twelve, rue des Amants, a beautiful old apartment building in the City of Light... The socialite. The nice guy. The alcoholic. The girl on the verge. The concierge. Everyone's a neighbor. Everyone's a suspect. And everyone knows something they're not telling. See you in Paris." --page [4] of cover.

Jess needs a fresh start. She's broke and alone, and she's just left her job under less than ideal circumstances. Her half-brother Ben didn't sound thrilled when she asked if she could crash with him for a bit, but he didn't say no, and surely everything will look better from Paris. Only when she shows up, to find a very nice apartment, (could Ben really have afforded this?) he's not there. The longer Ben stays missing, the more Jess starts to dig into her brother's situation, and the more questions she has. Ben's neighbors are an eclectic bunch, and not particularly friendly. Jess may have come to Paris to escape her past, but it's starting to look like it's Ben's future that's in question. The socialite. The nice guy. The alcoholic. The girl on the verge. The concierge. Everyone's a neighbor. Everyone's a suspect. And everyone knows something they're not telling.

Arriving in Paris to stay with her brother Ben, Jess learns that he has gone missing, and to find him, starts digging into his life, realizing even though she has come to the City of Lights to escape her past, it's his future hanging in the balance.

"De la autora superventas de La lista de invitados llega un nuevo misterio de habitación cerrada al más puro estilo Agatha Christie, ambientado en un edificio de apartamentos de París en el que cada residente tiene algo que ocultar... Bienvenido al número 12 de la Rue des Amants, un hermoso bloque de apartamentos antiguo, lejos de las luces brillantes de la Torre Eiffel y de las bulliciosas orillas del Sena. Donde nada pasa desapercibido y todos tienen una historia que descubrir. La portera vigilante. El amante despreciado. El periodista fisgón. El estudiante ingenuo. El invitado no deseado. Hubo un asesinato aquí anoche. Un misterio se esconde detrás de la puerta del apartamento número tres. ¿Quién tiene la llave? Jess necesita un nuevo comienzo. Está arruinada y sola, y acaba de dejar su trabajo en las circunstancias menos ideales. Su hermanastro Ben no parecía muy emocionado cuando le preguntó si podía quedarse con él durante una breve temporada, pero no le dijo que no, y Jess piensa que las cosas se verán mucho mejor desde París. Solo que cuando llega (a un apartamento muy agradable... ¿como puede permitírselo Ben?) él no está allí. Cuanto más tiempo permanece desaparecido Ben, más indaga Jess en la situación de su hermano y más preguntas tiene. Los vecinos de Ben son un grupo ecléctico y no particularmente amigable. Puede que Jess haya venido a París para escapar de su pasado, pero empieza a parecer que es el futuro de Ben el que está en duda. Todos son vecinos. Todos sospechan. Y todos saben algo que no están contando" -- Jess needs a fresh start. She's broke and alone, and she's just left her job under less than ideal circumstances.
