In Perpignan, a young woman has been discovered deceased. An unsettling connection to a previous vanishing has come to light.

Within her own ranks, Flore faces a barrage of hostility as the inquiry into Palomyno deepens.

The investigation is complicated by a fresh vanishing, occurring even as Palomyno, the prime suspect, remains incarcerated.

The year was 2000. An investigation, already languishing, gained a new, intricate layer with the arrival of a profiler.

With the discovery of a further body, the confessed perpetrator throws the investigation into sharper, more intricate relief.

Flore faced the man, and he confessed. After sixteen years spent evading capture, he admitted to two of the murders.
