Between 1943 and 2003 nine people have been stabbed to death with a
most unusual weapon: a trident. In each case, arrests were made,
suspects confessed their crimes and were sentenced to life in
prison. One slightly worrying detail: each presumed murderer lost
consciousness during the night of the crime and has no recollection
of it. Commissaire Adamsberg is convinced all the murders are the
work of one person, the terrifying Judge Fulgence. Years before,
Adamsberg's own brother had been the principal suspect in a similar
case and avoided prison only thanks to Adamsberg's help. History
repeats itself when Adamsberg, who is temporarily based in Quebec
for a training mission, is accused of having savagely murdered a
young woman he had met. In order to prove his innocence, Adamsberg
must go on the run from the Canadian police and find Judge
Fulgence. Winner of the 2007 Duncan Lawrie International Dagger for
The Three Evangelists.
