Deep sea fishers, dolphin researchers, smugglers, and an island shrouded in myth in the middle of the rough Atlantic ocean: Commissaire Dupin had sworn he would never again investigate on the ocean, but his fifth case takes him offshore, off the west coast of Brittany on a beautifully sunny day in June. He lands on the unique Île de Sein, populated by more rabbits than people, where the hairdresser arrives by boat and which was formerly inhabited by powerful witches and even the Devil himself. In front of this impressive backdrop, between the islands of Molène, Ouessant, and the bay of Douarnenez, Dupin and his team follow a puzzling case that pushes them to their very limits.

The Île de Sein, a small island off the west coast of Brittany, is a place of mystery and intrigue. It is home to a unique community of rabbits, outnumbering the human population by several thousand. The island has a rich history, once inhabited by powerful witches and even the Devil himself.

Commissaire Dupin, known for his deductive skills and relentless pursuit of the truth, is drawn to the island on a case that promises to be his most challenging yet. The island's hairdresser, a mysterious woman named Madame L'Espanaye, arrives by boat, carrying a package that she claims contains a valuable secret.

Dupin and his team, consisting of his assistant, Sergeant Lalouette, and a local police officer named Inspector Gaudet, set out to investigate the case. They soon discover that the island is not as peaceful as it seems. There are strange noises coming from the sea, and the rabbits seem to be acting suspiciously.

As Dupin and his team delve deeper into the mystery, they encounter a series of strange and supernatural events. They witness the appearance of a ghostly figure, hear the cries of a mysterious creature in the night, and discover a hidden cave that holds a dark secret.

Despite the danger and uncertainty, Dupin and his team are determined to uncover the truth. They use their skills and knowledge to piece together the clues and solve the puzzle that has been placed before them.

In the end, Dupin and his team discover that the hairdresser's package contains a map that leads to a treasure hidden on a nearby island. The treasure is not what they expected, but it is still valuable and could change their lives forever.

The case of the Île de Sein is a testament to Commissaire Dupin's determination and skill as a detective. It is a story of mystery, magic, and adventure that will captivate readers for generations to come.
