    About this ebook

    The tall man is a novel about a girl who is working in a café. Suddenly, her life turns upside down when an unknown man intrudes her life from nowhere. Then, weird things start occurring that she has never thought of before. 


    Who is that tall man that chases Rouen? Why?  And is it possible that her entire life is but a lie only?  Or is it bigger than that?
