According to the first adaptation of a four-part series of novels written by Mark Burnell, Stephanie's life fell apart after her family suffered an air crash. She began to indulge in alcohol, drugs, and prostitution. When she discovered that the plane crash was actually a murder, she decided to leave the sea of bitterness to explore the truth.
This is not a thriller revenge novel, although the heroine is about to embark on this path. This is a story about self-salvation. She must wake up from the multiple roles she played in the past and recognize who she is. As a prostitute, she was named Lisa, and she got hot; then she turned from an anarchist to a terrorist mercenary, under the pseudonym Petra Reuter; occasionally as a Swiss businesswoman Marina Gaudenzi or an American student Susan Branch, or as a British business consultant Elizabeth Shepherd. No matter who she is, she is not herself, because her life is based on the role she plays, which is the code fulfilled by the secret agency she serves. And when she fell in love with Frank White, the identity crisis gradually caused disaster.
