When she gets there, she finds a corpse on whose forehead is carved a swastika. With the help of her partner, a dwarf with extraordinary computer skills, she determines to solve this horrendous crime.
Her search for the killer leads her undercover inside a neo-Nazi group, to the next prime minister who is about to sign a trade agreement reminiscent of the old Vichy laws, and to a German war veteran.
