}}

Only Adamsberg could be involved in these crimes. While innocently on a stroll through London he and his colleagues, there for a conference, get told of nearly two dozen disembodied feet, and their shoes, left outside Highgate Cemetery. Some of them are decades old. Much fresher are the ridiculously demolished remains of a legal journalist, in his rural French home. Only Adamsberg can approach either, and do it partly through the urban myth of a bear hunter, a wardrobe-eater and more, and only in his world could they ever be linked. It's a good job too, that Adamsberg is the one to solve them, for they have a much greater bearing on him, his colleagues and his life than he would ever expect.

The first in this series chronologically is [[The Chalk Circle Man by Fred Vargas]]. If you prefer your crimes more northerly, but appear to have 'done' all the Scandinavian ones, we recommend [[Nights of Awe (Ariel Kafka Mystery) by Harri Nykanen and Kristian London (translator)]].
