Comte Gabriel Desrosiers hasst das Leben in Versailles, doch diese eher kleine Problematik wird überschattet von dem Verschwinden einer ganzen Straße, einigen seltsamen Todesfällen, dem Auftauchen eines Schattens mit rot glühenden Augen und dieser rumänische Diplomat Gherasim Andreshka und seine Zwillingsschwester Alexandra scheinen auch nicht das zu sein was sie vorgeben.
