The Midsummer Curse, Gérard Raynal

A forty-year-old story will suddenly resurface, propelling the young woman into the heart of an evil spiral. In Villerase, corpses will litter the garrigue paths, and soon anguish will spread throughout the entire village.

And by delving into memory, Marie Gourbal will understand that all these dramas take root near the cursed fault...
