The first volume in the bestselling Sharko/Henebelle series.

An anonymous film with a twisted, enigmatic script that blinds those who watch it. Five corpses found buried with their hands cut off, eyes and teeth pulled out, and skulls cracked. These are all part of the same case, in fact, thanks to which Detective Lucie Henebelle and Behavioral Analyst Franck Sharko–so different and yet so similar in the way they go about fighting crime–will meet. Their investigation will take them from Cairo's shantytowns to Canadian orphanages in the 1950s, on the trail of an unknown evil that shows that we may all be capable of the worst.
