- As she was assessing an ancient Egyptian box, a young woman becomes delirious and collapses, dead. Toxicological analyses reveal the presence of a powerful hallucinogen used by the Egyptian priests and the translation of the hieroglyphs on the box evokes a curse relating to Osiris, Egyptian god of the dead.
- Van Gogh's testament: A historian, special consultant for a television programme about Van Gogh, has been killed. The case seems linked to a theory that's more than a little unsettling: the famous artist didn't commit suicide but was murdered.
- A murder has been committed behind the scenes at the Moulin Rouge. All the clues point to Estelle Domani, one of the dancers at the renowned cabaret, but suffering from amnesia she is unable to defend herself. A situation made even worse by her all-consuming fascination for the artist Toulouse-Lautrec.
- Florence's father finds his old friend dead and calls her. Florence and Captain Verlay investigate the murder and try to find the connection with Camille Claudel.
- The Delacroix code: At the Louvre Museum a Eugène Delacroix enthusiast is killed after having admired one of the artist's works. Simon is the sole witness, a teenager with a quite extraordinary memory. Without having seen the murderer's face, his hypermnesia might still enable an identification. The youngster's life is now in danger.
- A young woman's body is found in a photo studio, seemingly killed while recreating Manet's work. Detectives Verlay and Chassagne investigate, uncovering a stolen Manet masterpiece from Boston.
- In the Paris catacombs, a young actress playing a vampire is discovered slain in a coffin, staked through her heart. Detectives Verlay and Chassagne investigate her theatre troupe, but personal entanglements arise, complicating the case.
- A picture of Anne de Bretagne is stolen from the château d'Amboise and there's a body in the garden. A rather surprising theft, as the picture appears to be worth little. The first ever case for Antoine Verlay and art history specialist Florence Chassagne.
- Under the stolen portrait of Anne de Bretagne was a forgotten painting by Leonardo da Vinci. This is the theory emerging from Florence's research. More down-to-earth and less attuned to the artistic side of the investigation, Antoine focuses on the murder in the garden.
- An art student is killed during a party inspired by 18th century paintings.
- An art historian collapses in front of Théodore Géricault's "Le Radeau de la Méduse" and dies before help arrives, staring at the painting. Florence sees a clear link between the victim and the painting, which represents death and agony.
- Émilie Bazin is arrested for Delphine Etiembe's murder. She has a motive, her profile matches and the proof is overwhelming. But is she really guilty?
- Was the victim leading a double life? Perhaps, but why lay out the body in front of one of the Louvre's best-known paintings? While Florence and Antoine employ very different methods, an important clue is found in the museum's corridors.
- The impression of a shadow (1/2): The owner of a copy of a work by Claude Monet is murdered and the picture stolen. But why go as far as killing someone just to take a simple copy? The investigation leads Antoine and Florence on the trail of a particularly talented copyist.
- Captain Verlay and Florence close in on the missing Bosch.
- The impression of a shadow (2/2): Antoine and Florence are on the trail of a particularly talented copyist of Claude Monet's work. They come to realise that the life of the one strangely mirrors that of the other. Worrying parallels lead them towards a sombre story of passion and jealousy.
- Captain Verlay receives a set of Gustave Courbet's paintings postcards as a kind of treasure hunt. A corpse is discovered with each riddle solved.
- The wounded man (2/2): The murderer inspired by Gustave Courbet seems determined to follow his Machiavellian plan right to the end. One question remains: why does he appear to address himself directly to Antoine?
- A seminarian's tattoo may hold clues to a long-lost Hieronymous Bosch triptych.
- The body of a trainee-dancer is found at the Opéra Garnier, a poem by the artist Edgar Degas forced down his throat. Legend says that the ghost of the "Little Fourteen Year-Old Dancer", emblematic work by Degas of which the school owns a copy, haunts the building and attacks dancers.
