Grâce à son père, Tuan a maintenant la certitude que Miach Mihie est bien l’instigatrice de la vague de suicides. Mais Miach a flairé le danger de leur entrevue : sur son ordre, Elijah Vashlov, en réalité un agent double à sa solde, abat le père de Tuan avant de succomber aux balles de celle-ci. Mise en examen pour assassinat, Tuan sait que sa révocation ne saurait tarder. Alors, avant d’être pieds et poings liés, l’inspectrice s’envole pour la Tchéchénie, sur la piste de son amie d’enfance. L’heure est à la confrontation ; de son issue dépendra le sort de l’humanité.
