Cloudless skies, blue sea and a horrifying discovery - the most glamorous boulevard on the French Riviera, La Croisette, where the jet-set go to see and be seen, is about to become the backdrop to a disturbing murder enquiry. As the city prepares for the annual film festival, another in a series of mutilated bodies is found on the seafront and the newly arrived young magistrate, Cecile Galant, finds herself in charge of an unpleasant and complicated investigation. Meanwhile, at his flat in London, Charlie Cashel, an affable but aimless young Englishman, receives a package, anonymously sent, which galvanises him into action - a roll of undeveloped film, postmarked "Cannes". Three months earlier his half-sister was murdered there, the killer never found. The developed film shows only one photograph: a painting of a cemetery in the south of France. Determined to uncover some answers, Charlie heads back to France and straight into the danger zone...
