On a rain-soaked road, a car crashes under a truck. While the driver is killed instantly, the passenger escapes without a scratch. Without a scratch, but not unscathed: Valérie loses her husband on her wedding day. When Frédéric, the deceased's older brother, tries to comfort the young widow, she, hysterical, chases him out of the family home. Then disappears after emptying the accounts. Troubled by the young woman and her behavior, Frédéric hires a detective to try to track her down. And from Southern Europe to Egypt, from England to the United States, this trail becomes increasingly bloody. But who is Valérie? With The White Widow, Paul Gillon delivers a breathtaking, violent, and sensual thriller, where the elegance of his drawings competes with the darkness of his subject matter.
