The second case is the murder of a young woman working at the mysterious Melies Star Films studio outside Paris.As Helena and her colleague Eliza investigate, they hear whispers of vanishings at Melies Star Films, strange lights, spies, actors flying without ropes and connections to the occult.What is George Melies practising at his secretive film studio?
