Printemps 1963. Dans l'Oural, au coeur de l'Empire soviétique, une mission archéologique découvre sept cercueils. À l'intérieur, des cadavres dont la peau du visage a été arrachée. Au même moment, à Berlin, un homme se fait tirer dessus alors qu'il franchit le Mur coupant la ville en deux. Avant de succomber, il réussit à prononcer un mot étrange : Doppelgänger. A priori, aucun rapport entre ces deux événements. Mais en réalité, il existe bien un lien entre la macabre découverte et le transfuge abattu. Ce lien porte un nom : Julius Kranz, un chirurgien est-allemand spécialiste des manipulations électro-chirurgicales sur le cerveau humain. L'un après l'autre, Mortimer et Blake vont croiser la route de ce scientifique machiavélique. Ils auront la désagréable surprise de retrouver à ses côtés un aventurier sans scrupules, qui prépare la plus grande mystification de l'histoire de l'humanité... Antoine Aubin met son trait éminemment « jacobsien » au service du scénario original de José-Louis Bocquet et Jean-Luc Fromental, qui conjugue la grande aventure, les brouillards de l'espionnage, les dérives de la science et les ressorts cachés de l'Histoire.
