Emma works as a masseuse at a world-renowned hydrotherapy spa in Brittany. A fiercely independent spirit, she has everything she could dream of; a spoiled cat, a few but trusted friends, and an uninterrupted view of the Atlantic. Not to mention her spectacular beauty and the energy in her hands that works magic on her patients.

But this idyllic life is shadowed by the memory of a car a accident that killed her own mother, and in which she was involved.

 When her massage talent is discovered by one of the most important leaders in Oman, the young woman agrees to leave for Muscat, the capital of the Sultanate. As Tariq Khan is about to open a luxury retreat, her mission there is to train the staff of masseurs.

What Emma ignores is that by accepting the position, she has just embarked on a dangerous journey.
Jean Reno offers us a sweeping tale of adventure and passion set against a backdrop of espionage.

Jean Reno, an icon of French and international cinema, has appeared in many films. Emma is his first novel, the first volume of a trilogy. He lives in New York City with his wife and children.
