His name is Christian but he’s a professed non-believer with Buddhist tendancies. As a recently divorced cop who has quit smoking, he has become quite stressed, and for other reasons too. He feels that an imminent tragedy is about to take place and it does – nine of the most beautiful statues of Notre Dame are beheaded. And then so is a young woman. The first in a long line…

Convinced that all these decapitations are connected, Christian desperately seeks to find the common link. He quickly gets the impression that he has a personal connection to this case. His suspicions are confirmed when the murderer kidnaps his ex, Mathilde, who disappears despite Christian doing everything to protect her. And if somehow this is all tied to a tragedy from his childhood…?

Catherine Bessonart is novelist, actress and screenwriter who lives in Paris.
