Description

The Chalk Circle Man by Fred Vargas is a gripping mystery that delves into the darker side of human nature. When strange blue chalk circles start appearing on Parisian pavements, Jean-Baptiste Adamsberg sees beyond the seemingly random occurrences to sense a sinister pattern. As more bizarre objects are discovered within the circles - a pigeon's foot, four cigarette lighters, and even a badge proclaiming 'I Love Elvis' - Adamsberg becomes increasingly convinced that these events are linked to a series of brutal murders. With each new circle, he knows that other victims will follow. This is the first book featuring Jean-Baptiste Adamsberg, a unique and engaging detective who operates outside the boundaries of conventional policing.
