The Ghost Riders of Ordebec (A Commissaire Adamsberg Mystery)

More than ten million copies of Fred Vargas s Commissaire Adamsberg mysteries have been sold worldwide. Now, American readers are getting hooked on the internationally bestselling author s unsettling blend of crime and the supernatural.

As the chief of police in Paris s seventh arrondissement, Commissaire Adamsberg has no jurisdiction in Ordebec. Yet, he cannot ignore a widow s plea. Her daughter Lina has seen a vision of the Ghost Riders with four nefarious men. According to the thousand-year-old legend, the vision means that the men will soon die a grisly death. When one of them disappears, Adamsberg races to Ordebec, where he becomes entranced by the gorgeous Lina and embroiled in the small Normandy town s ancient feud.

A Climate of Fear, the latest Commissaire Adamsberg mystery, will soon be available from Penguin.
