A Dark, Seductive Psychological Thriller

The voice first came to Jean‑Patrique when he was brutally punished as a boy. It offered protection and a sinister gift that demanded obedience - with blood in its wake. The voice called himself Merlin.

JP accepted, and Merlin stayed.

As his life unfolds during the post-war art boom— from the sun‑kissed island of Mallorca to the glamorous fishing village of Saint Tropez, and the chilling perfection of Isola Bella — JP moves with practiced ease, manipulating, deceiving, and removing anyone who stands in the way of his ambitions.

But at the moment of his greatest victory, Merlin’s control is finally challenged.
