Régis Loisel s'est pourtant attelé à la tâche avec grâce et humilité, mêlant ainsi les ambiances féeriques et lumineuses de James Matthew Barrie aux atmosphères londoniennes sombres mais romantiques de Dickens. Non content de s'approprier avec brio un classique de la littérature, Loisel fit entrer le lecteur ébahi dans les méandres tourmentés de la psychologie humaine, maniant avec honnêteté des notions délicates et taboues, comme la maternité non assumée, la violence des enfants, la vengeance, le complexe d'OEdipe...
Pour les habitants de la basse ville, il est le Scorpion. Les hommes l'évitent, redoutant son épée plus virevoltante que la nuée de moustiques d'une chaude nuit d'été. Les femmes le cherchent, fascinées par la prestance de ce beau brun qui sait les aimer comme personne. Pour les habitants de la haute ville, il est Armando Catalano, l'homme à la perruque poudrée qui sait dénicher aux fins fonds des catacombes romaines les reliques des saints de l'antiquité et du Moyen âge que princes et évêques s'arrachent à prix d'or. Pour le cardinal Trebaldi, l'impitoyable maître des moines-guerriers, l'homme qui n'hésite pas à faire empaler dans son confessionnal un prêtre trop bavard, il est le témoin d'une époque maudite qui doit disparaître. Pour cela Trebaldi demandera à une gitane égyptienne experte en poisons de lui apporter la peau de l'homme qui porte sur l'épaule droite un tatouage en forme de scorpion. Tatouage infamant rappelant à tous que la mère du héros a péri brûlée vive sur le bûcher réservé aux sorcières. Mais la gitane manquera son coup, déchaînant la colère du Scorpion. Les murs du Vatican en tremblent encore.
Nos héros rencontrent le comte de Champignac dans d'étranges circonstances.
