Something strange is happening in museums across Paris. A white horse appears in the library of the Pompidou Centre. Then stuffed wolves are displayed in a gallery, dressed in fine garments and drinking champagne. The authorities are baffled – particularly when investigations lead to suspended police officer Abel Bac. Since being dismissed for unknown reasons, Abel has been wandering the streets of Paris, haunted by a recurring nightmare and hoping to lose himself in the city. But following Abel leads to Mila, the mysterious artist at the heart of this enigma – and to a hidden darkness rising to the surface of the city. As soon becomes clear, nothing about this chain of events has been a coincidence… Translated by Sophie Lewis.
