In common, the different volumes share narrative proficiency, thriller and suspense rhetoric, but above all, and at the heart of the argument, the irresolvable paradox: if Nahik holds the essential commandments, foundations of peace, love and humanity, why does it sow destruction? Is Nahik a sacred manuscript or a cursed text?
When a mysterious manuscript reaches Simon Broemecke, the editorial director pays little or no attention to it. However, in the wake of a sudden tragedy, right outside his office, he feels guilty for the condescension with which he had treated the victim minutes before and decides, therefore, to give Nahik a chance.
Motivated by his love for Gwen, who despises his inertia and makes a point of amusingly asserting his disbelief in his literary skills, Simon is determined to read the manuscript for the first time, in which he finds the opportunity to become an excellent translator. However, among a series of misunderstandings, his translation is edited as an original, and suddenly Broemecke is considered the writer of the century.
With fame, comes responsibility. Above all, keeping a terrible secret, a task made difficult by the appearance of one Moorland, descendant of the true author of Nahik. Simon is then placed between the sword and the wall and, in an act of desperation, takes advantage of the existence of a serial killer, still at large, to get rid of what torments him. The command in volume 1, “Thou shalt not kill,” is inevitably and predictably broken.
