Through a neurologist with mentalist talents, Astrid and Raphaëlle will direct their investigation to a magician, former television star. By digging into the victim's past, they will eventually understand that magic was the starting point of his success but also of a terrible personal drama.
2IrezumiThe Japanese owner of an art gallery is found dead in a spa. Killed with a sword, he would have cut off his little finger as a sign of penance before dying as a yakuza would.

3The Fermi ParadoxA man is killed in an ultra-secure factory from which the main suspect inexplicably managed to escape. Astrid and Raphaëlle are about to leave the crime scene, when it appears before their eyes, in a flash. Could she have been the victim of an alien abduction as suggested by the first elements of the investigation or is another much more tangible reality behind this crime?

Astrid and Raphaëlle investigate the very heart of the instrument and meet an organist prodigy and her cantankerous old teacher. Things get tough when a second lifeless body is found near the organ.

Disturbing detail: she gave birth just hours before her death and the baby's whereabouts are unknown. Astrid and Raphaëlle find themselves on the trail of a feminist association: Circé. Was this young woman killed because of her commitment? Is the murder related to an obscure practice of witchcraft or to the baby she was carrying?
6GolemOne of the associates of a high-tech company is murdered. The crime scene suggests that this Orthodox Jew may have been a victim of the Golem, a mythical clay creature obeying the orders of its creator.

While their first suspect sinks into madness, Astrid and Raphaëlle will discover that taking oneself for God is never without consequences.
