In Gernon, a small town in the French Alps, a university librarian has been murdered. Not just killed, but with particular cruelty. Who could have thought to deal with this person? The local police are unable to establish the truth,...
and police commissioner Nieman arrives from the capital to assist them.
At the same time, in Sarsac, another provincial town in France, two strange events occur on the same day: a robbery at the school archive and the breaking into a cemetery crypt where the body of ten-year-old Jude Itéro rests.
The connection between these crimes is elusive, but the closer the detectives get to solving the mystery, the more terrible and bloodier the victims left by the mysterious criminals become, and the clearer the dependency between the drama in the mountain university and the dark incidents in Sarsac is traced.
A famous film based on the novel was released in 2000, featuring brilliant performances by Jean Reno and Vincent Cassel.
