Actor Jean Reno has released his second novel, "L'Évasion." In the book, the heroine of his first novel, Emma, a masseuse from Brittany, becomes a spy. Emma is sent to a camp for Ukrainian teenagers in Siberia to gather evidence. Reno says he was deeply shocked by reports of kidnapped Ukrainian children and their brainwashing, so he decided to turn the subject into a novel. The first book was called "Emma," and in it, an ordinary girl with the gift of sensing the human body and relieving pain through massage finds herself caught up in a story set in the Middle East and learns to navigate dangerous situations.
