      On the outskirts of Paris, two men have been found with their throats cut. It is assumed that this is a drug-related incident of the kind so often uncovered in that area of town. But Adamsberg is convinced that there is more to it. Anxious to keep control of the case, he must call in a favor from the pathologist Ariane Lagarde.

      On the outskirts of Paris, two men have been found with their throats cut. In Normandy, two stags have been killed and their hearts cut out. Meanwhile a seventy-five-year-old nurse who has murdered several of her patients has escaped from prison. Is there a connection between the three cases?

      In this mystery, Commissaire Adamsberg is pitted against nemeses past and present: Ariane Lagarde, France''s foremost pathologist and Adamsberg''s enemy since they argued over a case twenty-three years earlier, and Louis Veyrenc, a new recruit with a grudge, who has been assigned the job of protecting the Commissaire''s ex-girlfriend. As the different strands of Vargas''s compelling story begin to intertwine, events move towards a gripping climax...
