A series of never-before-published investigations counducted by painter René Magritte and his wife Georgette.

Back in the day, when Brussels bustled and bristled...
At a streetcar stop, renowned painter René Magritte—bowler behatted, somber suited, and pipe in mouth—is beset by a strange vision: a young woman in a flowered dress standing beside her body! He tells his wife Georgette about it and immortalizes the scene in a painting. A few days later, that very woman is found murdered, a scented love letter in her purse and a bouquet of lilacs beneath her dress.
