Case: Songs of Darkness
Niémans is tracking a monk whose habit can be seen by the light of the moon. Niémans loses him, but finally catches up. Too late. Brother Guillaume is dying, but with his dying breath is able to say,« the sword and the snake» as he shows the palm of his left hand, tattooed in blue.
Case: Day of the Ashes
A large vineyard, during the grape harvest. A rose coloured chapel with a black bell tower is being renovated. A corpse is discovered with a battered head, and bleeding crotch. The man has been castrated. The murderer appears to have fled, knocking down one of the walls of the chapel, hence destroying a fresco.
Case: Children’s Crusade
Modernist architecture, systematic vandalism, the social paradise designed by some generic architect has mutated into a vile, miserable hell. While searching for drugs in the trash in an abandoned parking lot, “two hoods” discovering a severed hand, that of a child.
Case: The Last Hunt
Hunting parties in the forest... But the corpse that is found is not of a deer, but a hunter. Horribly mutilated. His ribcage cut open, viscera torn out, multiple bite marks ... and as a final touch, an oak twig dipped in his own blood placed between his teeth. The victim is not just any young man. He was Jürgen von Geyersberg, the heir to one of the biggest fortunes in Germany, just across the border.
The Children's Crusade (1)
When two men discover the severed hand of a child, Niemans and Camille find the local police distracted by the case of a serial killer armed with a rifle. Can they find clues at a children's home?
The Children's Crusade (2)
Two more people are shot dead, in the cemetery: a married couple who took in foster children. But a quotation from an ancient tale about an ill-fated group of children on a memorial provides a clue.
Song of Darkness (1)
Niemans witnesses the death of a monk named Brother Guillaume who utters the words 'the sword and the snake' with his dying breath and has the palm of his left hand burned to hide a mysterious tattoo
Song of Darkness (2)
It seems the monks believe they have discovered sinister secret messages in the ancient music they've been studying. As Camille and Niemans get closer to the truth, they encounter a satanic sect.
