Jean-Christophe Grangé is a renowned master of the European detective thriller, whose major literary fame began with the thriller "Crimson Rivers" (1998), soon followed by a brilliant film adaptation. The main hero—an unassuming police officer Pierre Niemans, brilliantly played by Jean Reno—immediately won the audience’s affection: he has a relentless analytical mind but a difficult, unadaptable temperament. And twenty years later, Grangé decided to revive the legendary commissioner in his new novel.

In the heart of the Black Forest, in the Black Forest, the final hunt begins. But when the horn sounded, it turned out that it wasn’t a deer or a boar that was killed—Jürgen von Heyersberg, a young German aristocrat, owner of the surrounding lands and immense wealth. The investigation is led by detectives from Germany and France; for the French, the famous commissioner Pierre Niemans plays a crucial role, together with his student and colleague Ivana Bohdanovych. The experts have the victim’s body—but there is no head, no entrails. And there are no traces. Soon it becomes clear to the police that this is only the beginning. An unknown criminal has opened a hunt not only for members of the Heyersberg family, but also for the investigators themselves. And behind the chain of strange murders, a sinister shadow looms—a beast’s shadow.
