JJA, the Director of Internal Security, has taken over the leadership of the Legends Office to put it in order while Marie-Jeanne preferred to get away from Mortier and test her resistance to stress on the ground in Egypt.
The DGSE will be shaken by the revelations in the press about the execution of Paul Lefebvre and the role played by the DGSE and the CIA.
These leaks wake up old demons at JJA who multiply his paranoia and worry his closest collaborators, Sisteron and Ellenstein.
His obsessions join that of a new clandestine agent, Mille Sabords, who tries to approach the Saudi secret services while investigating this atoning victim that was Paul Lefebvre.
Another collateral victim of Malotru's disappearance: César, the genius geek, infiltrated the best cyber-fighters of the FSB who are preparing a large-scale operation.
In the end, Malotru, dead or alive, will not cease to confront each one with his own dead ends, in Sinai, in Jeddah, Phnom Penh, Moscow, Cairo and... Paris, boulevard Mortier.
