Sophia Siméonidis, A Greek Opera Singer, Wakes Up One Morning To Discover That A Tree Has Appeared Overnight In The Garden Of Her Paris House. Intrigued And Unnerved, She Turns To Her Neighbours: Vandoosler, An Ex-Cop Fired From The Police For Having Helped A Murderer To Escape, And Three Impecunious Historians, Mathias, Marc And Lucien - The Three Evangelists. They Agree - Both Because They Need The Money And Out Of Sheer Curiosity - To Dig Around The Tree And See If Something Has Been Buried There. They Find Nothing But Soil. A Few Weeks Later, Sophia Disappears And Nobody Worries Too Much Until Her Body Is Found Burned To Ashes In A Car. Who Killed The Opera Singer? Her Husband, Her Ex-Lover, Her Best Friend? Or Could It Be Her Lovely Niece Recently Moved To The Capital? They All Seem To Have A Motive. Vandoosler And The Three Evangelists Set Out To Find The Truth.
