Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"This latest outing for the offbeat Commissaire Adamsberg is [Vargas'] best" (Independent)

"After decades in which crime fiction in French was dominated by the Belgian author Georges Simenon, it has an indisputable new star in Fred Vargas" (Joan Smith Sunday Times)

"Vargas depicts brilliantly a rural community riven with superstition, where class distinctions have existed for centuries" (The Times)

"An early contender for outstanding crime novel of the year" (Sunday Times)

"A glorious mix of myth, quirky observation and gallic humour" (Sunday Telegraph)

Reseña del editor:

‘People will die,’ says the panic-stricken woman outside police headquarters.

She refuses to speak to anyone besides Commissaire Adamsberg. Her daughter has seen a vision: ghostly horsemen who target the most nefarious characters in Normandy. Since the middle ages there have been stories of murderers, rapists, those with serious crimes on their conscience, meeting a grisly end following a visitation by the riders.

Soon after the young woman’s vision a notoriously vicious and cruel man disappears. Although the case is far outside his jurisdiction, Adamsberg agrees to investigate the strange happenings in a village terrorised by wild rumours and ancient feuds.
