Résumé :
To the outside world, she is a forgotten patient. To the state, she is a target. The real secrets are hidden in the shadows. Dana's world shattered with the sudden, muffled death of her mother - a tragic accident that didn't add up. When her private investigation stalled and she realized someone was systematically erasing the evidence, Dana made the ultimate move to survive: she disappeared into the one place nobody would look for a rational woman - a locked psychiatric facility, blending in with the lost. But safe isn't free. Dana is now accused of espionage for Iran, branded a traitor by the very state she once served. Hunted by those who want her silenced, and trapped within the institution's walls, Dana must use the facility as her base. She begins to uncover a chain of secrets her mother died protecting - secrets that go far beyond her family, touching the highest levels of global intelligence. Trapped, exposed, and racing against time, Dana must piece together the truth from stolen files and fractured memories. She must prove her innocence from inside, before the true traitor - the people who erased her - close in. This is a story of survival, betrayal, and the lethal cost of the truth....
