Neptune's thunder: "Police captain Adamsberg must re-open a mysterious old murder case connected to the disappearance of his suspected brother. Once again, Adamsberg must hunt down the Trident, nicknamed for impaling his victims' bellies with a three-pronged weapon. When a new victim across the ocean in Quebec is found, accusations point toward Adamsberg, just like his brother 30 years ago"--Container.The chalk circle man: "'Victor, hex on you, what are you doing outdoors?' For the past four months, this phrase has been appearing overnight alongside circles drawn in chalk on the sidewalks of Paris. In the middle of these circles are strange objects: a trombone, a candle, a pair of scissors, a pair of tweezers, a pigeon's foot and so on"--Container.Seeking whom he may devour: "Wolves are back in the Mercantour hills, and suddenly a wave of carnage is sweeping this region of southern France, with sheep being killed and lambs devoured. But what worries the locals is the size of the predator; some are talking of a werewolf, of the 'The Beast of Mercantour'"--Container.A dubious place: "It all started in London, outside Highgate cemetery, where Danglard and Camille make a macabre discovery: 19 pairs of shoes, with a foot in each one. A severed foot. Events then jump to a house in a Parisian suburb, where Adamsberg and Retancourt are confronted with the bloodiest massacre of their careers: a body chopped into so many pieces that there's nothing left of it"--Container.
