CRIME ISLAND At sixty-two, former Inspector Julius Bald thought he had turned the page on the crime. Since the death of his wife Hélène, he has been fleeing pain aboard anonymous cruises. But when the liner Mermaid of the Seas sinks near a lost island, Bald finds himself among the 112 survivors. On this hostile land, death strikes quickly: one body, then another. A killer hides among them, leaving strange silver necklaces. Fear sets in, alliances break. Thanks to his "mental palace", Bald investigates in secret. But the murderer plays with him... and a buried treasure reveals a much older and terrifying secret. Bald will have to act before the island becomes a tomb.
