Description
“Wildly imaginative.”—The New York Times
“Adamsberg is a terrific creation and his team of misfits a joy to watch in action.”—Peter Robinson, New York Times bestselling author of the Inspector Banks series
Three wounds in a perfectly straight line was the bloody signature that marked victims from every corner of France who had been murdered over the course of thirty years. Commissaire Jean-Baptiste Adamsberg, the chief of police in Paris's 7th Arrondissement, is deeply and personally familiar with the case, and though others were always framed and convicted for these crimes, including his own brother, the Commissaire knows the true identity of the killer—and knows that the murderer died in 1987. All the more disturbing, then, is Adamsberg's discovery one morning of a fresh murder with exactly the same profile...

It getspersonal in the third Jean-Baptiste Adamsberg mystery to reach the U.S. Previously, the eccentric commissaireof the French national police has maintained a disconcerting detachment, solving cases like a lone ranger or a Zen archer who went straight to the target. This time, though, Adamsberg faces his personal demon, a serial killer called the Trident who, 30 years previously, framed the commissaires brother for a murder, successfully avoiding prosecution for that and numerous other slayings. Supposedly dead for more than 15 years, the Trident has risen from the graveor so Adamsberg believes after encountering a new victim whose corpse bears the tell-tale signs of the Tridents work. Convincing anyone of this fact is impossible, of course, anddistracted by a trip to Ottawa to attend a forensics courseAdamsberg returns to Paris to find himself well and truly framed for the murder of a young woman. Vargas continues to mix styles effectively, combining the light, comic touch of the best Simenon with much darker themes. This time, too, with the hero forced to look deep into himself, the novel adds an extra pinch of Rendellian psychology to the stewpot.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2007, American Library Association.)
