Used book – Temps glaciaires: An Inspector Adamsberg Investigation, Fred Vargas

Spring announced itself with a trio of suicides. The same signature was left near the victims, a strange guillotine-shaped symbol. For Commissioner Adamsberg and his deputies, Danglard and Retancourt, this is the beginning of an unbridled investigation that will lead them from the inner workings of a strange society, keen on the writings of Robespierre, to the distant and misty lands of Iceland. Between historical crime fiction, tragedy, and fantasy tale, Fred Vargas masterfully maintains the subtle balance of genres to create her own, inimitable style.
