'People will die,' says the panic-stricken woman outside police headquarters. She has been standing in blazing sunshine for more than an hour, and refuses to speak to anyone besides Commissaire Adamsberg. Her daughter has seen a vision: ghostly horsemen who target the most nefarious characters in Normandy. Since the middle ages there have been stories of murderers, rapists, those with serious crimes on their conscience, meeting a grizzly end following a visitation by the riders. Soon after the young woman's vision a notoriously cruel man disappears, and the local police dismiss the matter as superstition. Although the case is far outside his jurisdiction, Adamsberg agrees to investigate the strange happenings in a village terrorised by wild rumours and ancient feuds.

Fred Vargas tillhör en av mina absoluta favoriter bland deckarförfattarna!
Hon gör mig aldrig besviken och nu väntar jag på nästa fall för Adamsberg och hans medarbetare. Önskar jag kunde så mycket franska att jag kunde läsa på originalspråket.
