Though her partner, René, is wary of this stranger, Aimée is thrilled; she has always wanted a sister. But before Aimée can get to know her, Mireille disappears. Worried about her sister and eager to learn if what she says is true, Aimée follows the only clue she has: a note Mireille left behind. On the note is the address to a university research center in the Latin Quarter; in the building, Aimée finds a corpse without an ear.
