A small mountain community in the French Alps is roused to terror
when they awaken each morning to find yet another of their sheep
with its throat torn out. One of the villagers thinks it might be a
werewolf, and when she's found killed in the same manner, people
begin to wonder if she might have been right. Suspicion falls on
Massart, a loner living on the edge of town.
The murdered woman's adopted son, one of her shepherds, and her
new friend Camille decide to pursue Massart, who has conveniently
disappeared. Their ineptness for the task soon becomes painfully
obvious, and they summon Commissaire Adamsberg from the city to
bring his exceptional powers of intuition to bear on layer upon
layer of buried hatred and secrets.
France's queen of crime writing pits the maverick genius of
Commissaire Jean-Baptiste Adamsberg against ancient, primal fears
in a novel that "establishes Vargas as one of the most unusual
voices in European crime fiction" "(The Sunday Times"
[London]).
