In this frightening and surprising novel, the eccentric, wayward
genius of Commissaire Adamsberg is pitted against the deep-rooted
mysteries of one Alpine village's history and a very present
problem: wolves. Disturbing things have been happening up in the
French mountains; more and more sheep are being found with their
throats torn out. The evidence points to a wolf of unnatural size
and strength. However Suzanne Rosselin thinks it is the work of a
werewolf. Then Suzanne is found slaughtered in the same manner. Her
friend Camille attempts, with Suzanne's son Soliman and her
shepherd, Watchee, to find out who, or what, is responsible and
they call on Commissaire Adamsberg for help. 'Ingenious. Slick,
creepy and full of engaging odd characters, this thriller is a
class act' Independent
