Devastated by his friend's death, Parisian forensic pathologist Raphaël Balthazar has vowed never to touch a corpse again. But his resolve wavers when he discovers a dead body while sailing, and soon he's working once more with no-nonsense Chief Inspector Hélène Bach. Together they face a murder linked to a secret martial-arts club, a double homicide committed by a killer clown, and a high-speed chase through a restricted military zone. As Balthazar tries to put his personal life back together after tragedy, Bach is closing in on their most elusive suspect: his wife's killer.
