Chief Inspector Daniel Jacquot of the Cavaillon Regional Crime Squad is called to an artist's retreat, a luxury hill-top hotel where a young woman, it seems, has been murdered. There are bloodstains, but no body.
The mystery deepens as Jacquot begins his investigation. Among the guests are those who have both means and motive, with personal secrets, hidden agendas and their own dangerous liaisons to conceal. Some of the people are very powerful indeed, and none of them takes kindly to Jacquot's probing questions.
Looming over them all is a celebrated and reclusive artist whose masterworks are priceless, a monster who torments all those who seek to bask in his glory. When a summer storm isolates the hotel, and not one but two bodies are found, passions start to run high...
