En écrivant un article sur Georg Jenatsch, un pasteur et politicien grison du 17ème siècle, le journaliste Christophe Sprecher se laisse peu à peu entraîner dans des aventures qui le dépassent. Jenatsch était une personnalité ambiguë dont le meurtre reste un mystère. Sprecher est tellement habité par ses recherches que celles-ci en deviennent une véritable obsession, au point qu'il développe des hallucinations qui le submergent de façon imprévisible sous forme de déjà-vus. Cela met à mal sa relation avec son amie Nina, qui finira cependant par l'accompagner dans sa quête.

Dans la mythologie gréco-latine, Hécate est une déesse des Enfers, une magicienne maléfique, maîtresse des sortilèges de la nuit et grande dévoreuse d'hommes. Et c'est bien dans le filet destructeur d'une Hécate moderne qu'on voit s'empêtrer Julien Rochelle quand il tombe amoureux de l'énigmatique Clothilde de Watteville. L'action se situe à Fès, au Maroc, à la veille de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. À peine installé à son premier poste de jeune attaché consulaire, Julien se préoccupe d'y trouver une maîtresse pour échapper à l'ennui dans lequel se morfond tout ce petit monde de diplomates oisifs et de banquiers internationaux.

Hermann Hermann is a successful entrepreneur in the 1930s Germany. As the Nazis gradually rise to power, Hermann, who is a Russian émigré, becomes increasingly frightened and mentally unstable. His attempts at leaving the country are accompanied by symptoms of madness, the most vivid being his belief that he found his exact double, although the person in question differs from him in every respect. He creates an elaborate plan that would allow him to flee to Switzerland, but it soon becomes unclear whether his voyage leads him to a neutral country or merely allows him to take refuge in his madness.
