Dr. Celyddon is approached my Monsieur Thomas, "The Egyptian". Thomas wants to hire Dr. Celyddon to retrieve an object from the local offices of the Direction Générale de l'Armement (Directorate General of Armaments, or DGA), the research and development service of the Ministère des Armées (Ministry of the Armed Forces). Unfortunately, Monsieur Thomas' previous contact in the DGA, Gaspard Clerc, has been murdered.

Meanwhile, Johnny Diamond is approached by the sharp-witted and gorgeous Marguerite Degan, head of the Kaufman & Degan real estate development and construction company. A month ago, after being missing for almost a week, Marguerite's sister Hélène was found by the side of the road, catatonic. Hélène was dressed only in a slip, with cuts and bruises that appeared several days old. The police performed a cursory investigation, but found nothing. Marguerite wants Johnny's help in finding out who did this to Hélène.

Dr. Celyddon performs a day-long ritual to reach into Hélène's mind and find out what happened to her. The memories are faint -- Hélène's mind has retreated from the world to defend herself from a sorcerous assault most foul. But he sees two men, and a large rock in a brass case. Marguerite identifies one of the men as Michel Galabru, a casino owner to whom her father, Édouard Degan, has often been in debt since her mother died.
