Set in Paris during the 1950s, in a country shaken by the echoes of the Algerian war and that is still recuperating from World War II, this is the story of an anarchist attack that was never carried out and of betrayed revolutionary ideals. Abel Benoit, an elderly anarchist, dies in the hospital after being the victim of a mysterious attack, but before his death he is able to contact private investigator Bestor Burma, who will begin an investigation that will force him to remember his adolescence as a young libertarian in the Paris between wars.
