Synopsis

Murder and depravity are Police Commissioner Amde Mallock's daily bread. As far as he is concerned, mankind has been thoroughly abandoned by God, and the visions that haunt him do nothing to disabuse him of this notion. But nothing he has encountered has prepared him for the sudden appearance of a serial killer dubbed """"The Makeup Artist."""" The bodies of the killer's first victims, found in four separate neighborhoods of Paris, are monstrous works of art, baroque masterpieces of depravity. As Mallock investigates, he is shocked by the level of devilish behaviour.
