Set in the French Pyrenees, Minier's debut thriller introduces Commandant Martin Servaz of the Toulouse police, who has been called to the scene of an unusual and brutal crime. The prized yearling of a local wealthy businessman has been decapitated, and its headless corpse is found hanging from cables suspended near the cable car terminus on a mountain peak. Servaz reluctantly begins his investigation and finds, shortly thereafter, the DNA of a notorious murderer on the horse's body. This lead is baffling as this killer is currently incarcerated in a nearby asylum for the criminally insane. A few days later, a chemist in a neighboring town is found horribly murdered with the same improbable DNA found on the scene. Servaz and his team rush to piece together the dark and twisted story of wealth, sex, and revenge in order to head off a ruthless murderer. VERDICT Complex, fast-paced, and completely absorbing, Minier's wickedly plotted mystery has already been published in numerous languages and found a place on international best sellers lists. Thriller and crime fiction fans will have a hard time putting this mix of police procedural and psychological thriller down.âMadeline Solien, Deerfield P.L., IL
