About This Novel
This book is the eighth novel of suspense thrillers in the "Adamsberg Sheriff Series" by contemporary French writer Fred Vargas. At the scene of two murders disguised as suicides, the police discovered a mysterious symbol similar to a guillotine. The investigation first led Sheriff Adamsberg to an incident in Iceland 10 years ago where travelers were trapped and caused casualties. New clues later led investigators to a research association on Robespierre's writings that was keen on restoring scenes of parliamentary debates during the French Revolution. History, cross-dressing, Iceland, human bones... Withstanding the pressure of not being understood by his subordinates, after peeling off layers of cocoons, Adamsberg finally uncovered the truth about the travel accident 10 years ago and exposed the murderer's tactics. The book sold 700,000 copies in France and won the 2015 French Landino Suspense Literature Award and the 2016 German Crime Novel Award.
