Prag. Jean Sorel is an American journalist who has been found in a coma in the streets of the city. As the morgue doctors declare him dead, Sorel remembers the events that have lead him there. As he was about to quit Prag for London a few days before, his girl-friend Barbara Bach suddenly disappeared. In the company of his fellow journalists Ingrid Thulin and Mario Adorf, he tried to understand the reasons for this disappearance. The local police didn't help him in his quest that made him discover a strange organization : the club 99.

Really frightening. A masterpiece.
