After a bizarre stay at a psychiatric clinic, Yves and Céline are now settled in Hyères, in the South of France, to enjoy the peace and quiet and the sun. After learning that the wealthy owner of the Villa Larsen was on the lookout for a couple of house sitters, they didn't hesitate for a second. And they invited the rest of the Bus Stop Mystery Club to stop by for a celebratory reunion.

Everything is going smoothly, until Yves stumbles upon dead pheasants in the Villa’s garden. Pheasants with their eyes gouged out. Pheasants that bitterly remind them of the dead boars at the clinic...

From afar, on the island of Levant, the Amabed group watches. Four academics have discovered a falsification of Voltaire's writings by none other than the owner of the Villa Larsen, Yann Williamsburg, a great Voltaire specialist. While the forger lined their pockets, the slight modifications have cost the members of the Amabed group their academic careers. Yann Williamsburg must pay, and at a high price!
