- Synopsis
- The rituals of Papuan warriors and headhunters form the intriguing backdrop to this subtle and compelling novel from one of France's most original and thought-provoking crime writers. When Commandant de Palma follows an anonymous tip-off to a gated mansion by the coast, he finds a body whose face is obscured by a fearsome tribal mask - beneath it lies a mysterious wound that could not have been caused by a bullet. Surrounded by scores of masks and painted skulls, de Palma hears the haunting strains of a primal flute from the floors above. With few leads to go on, de Palma delves into an account of the murdered doctor's voyage to Papua New Guinea seventy years earlier. But, when his leads starting dying in similarly mysterious circumstances, even de Palma begins to wonder whether the bodies on his hands are the victims of spirits intent on revenge.
