It is carnival time in Nice, and for three weeks the boulevards are
alive with dancers, jugglers and musicians. Amid the colour and
pageantry, a man suffers a fatal fall - the first in a series of
suspicious deaths.
Captain Paul Darac of the Brigade Criminelle is sure the answer lies in
the mystery surrounding a daring bank heist, supposedly resolved years
ago. But the reopening of the case awakens powerful enemies, and soon
the safety of his friends, his colleagues and his family is at stake.
