Paris, Summer 2003. Three women have been murdered. The victims are discovered at home after an anonymous telephone call. Their hands are tied behind their back and a cloth covers shards of mirror driven into their faces. On each of the bodies a paper square is found with a quote from Ecclesiastes.
The investigation is entrusted to the homicide squad led by Captain Ludovic Mistral, who is still distraught after the painful conclusion of the Magician case. Mistral quickly discovers that a series of three absolutely identical murders was committed in another region a few months earlier, so similar that the DNA discovered at the crime scene matches that of the previous murders. However, the DNA belongs to someone who was arrested for the first series of murders and was in jail when the second series took place
