Poirot has his little grey cells, Morse his classical education, Patrice Lanier only has 'the things themselves'.
Four grisly murders with overtones of the past are troubling the Romanian authorities. Invited to assist, Patrice's team examines why real monsters are not yet conquered, and old corruption is not yet forgotten.
Colette Lanier and Amélie, accompany the team to the old Roman city of Alba Julia, discovering icons, Escape Rooms, and artificial spiders.
Against the background of folk memory, real fear, and the tendrils of what happened in the past, they have limited time to solve the murders - and it's running out!
