Una semana muy oscura de 1927 un hombre es asesinado en extrañas circunstancias y su cuerpo aparece en un callejón de París.

El hallazgo plantea un enigma escalofriante, pues además del extraño color que presenta la piel de la víctima en el cuello se advierte una herida que no puede atribuirse a ningún arma o depredador conocido.

El caso es asignado con discreción a la Brigada Nocturna, una división de la policía francesa especializada en crímenes imposibles de resolver. Entre los detectives desplegados se encuentra el joven Pierre Le Noir, que cuenta con una curiosa red de informantes en el barrio. Gracias a ésta, Le Noir conoce a una hermosa mujer que tiene oscuros motivos para interesarse en el cadáver, y a partir de su encuentro con ella comprende que el caso involucra magia e hipnosis, migrantes ilegales y millonarios respetables, pero, sobre todo, que si desea detener al culpable debe infiltrarse entre surrealistas y dadaístas, dos grupos de artistas rijosos y explosivos, siempre en líos con las autoridades, y entre los cuales se hallan André Breton, Tristan Tzara y Man Ray: todos son sospechosos, porque todos tienen algo que ocultar.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

During a dark week in 1927, a man is killed under strange circumstances and his body appears in an alley in Paris.

The discovery poses a chilling mystery: in addition to the odd color of the victim’s skin, on his neck is a wound that cannot be attributed to any known weapon or predator.

The case is assigned to the Night Brigade, a division of the French police specialized in impossible-to-solve crimes. Among the detectives is young Pierre Le Noir, who has a curious network of informants in the neighborhood, through which he meets a beautiful woman with dark motives for her interest in the body.

After meeting her, he understands that the case involves magic and hypnosis, illegal immigrants and respectable millionaires. Above all, he learns that if he wants to catch the culprit, he must infiltrate surrealists and Dadaists, two explosive groups of artists who are always in trouble with the authorities, and who hang out with the likes of André Breton, Tristan Tzara, and Man Ray: they are all suspects, and they all have something to hide.
