A famous lawyer found drowned on the beach in Biarritz, a cryptic message: a lady wrapped in the sun… red dragon roux… her child kidnapped and taken… war in the sky… That’s all it takes to convince young Charlotte de Montbrun, who met the lawyer and his niece, Helène Weinstein, prima ballerina at the Paris Opera, to investigate the mystery.
A mystery that deepens when magician Manuel Gomes swallows a chalice full of liquid nitrogen live on TV, and an arrow shot from the roof of the opera house hits the prima ballerina in the middle of a performance of Swan Lake!
Unexpected  events, strange assassinations… all the ingredients are present in this off-beat thriller, in which our Internet-addicted heroine investigates with determination, but without considering the traps in the web…

A French thriller with both baroque and ultra-contemporary accents: an unusual tribute to Gaston Leroux, in this centennial year of his Phantom of the Opera.
