LA SENTINELLE

Mathias Barillet is twenty-five years old. Son of a diplomat, and a student of forensic medecine. He lives in Germany, until he decides to move to Paris. On his way back to France, Mathias finds himself mystriously in possession of a shrunken human head, like those made by Jivaro Indians. His fascination with it grows, and he can’t bring himself to get rid of it. To whom does it belong? Who gave it to him? And why?
