Summary
When chalk circles start appearing overnight on the pavements of Paris, the press and psychiatrists have a field day, but Police Commissioner Adamsberg insists on being kept informed of new circles and the increasingly bizarre objects which they contain: empty… beer cans, four trombones, a badge proclaiming "I Love Elvis," a doll's head. Adamsberg senses the cruelty that lies behind these seemingly random occurrences, and soon a circle with decidedly less banal contents is discovered: the body of a woman with her throat savagely cut. Some descriptions of sex and some strong language, explicit descriptions of violence. 2009, c1996. (The Commissaire Adamsberg series) Uniform title: L'homme aux cercles bleus.
