A # 1 French and Italian bestseller from the three-time winner of the CWA’s International Dagger Award  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.

4.0 L'armée furieuse
Vintage Vargas. You kinda need to have read the previous book to fully get where Adamsberg is coming from and why he is in just a strange head space (more that usual for him). The plot hinges on the supernatural again. It's well done and the whole small village with history going back to the middle ...
