An Uncertain Place by Fred Vargas

An Uncertain Place by Fred Vargas

Commissaire Adamsberg leaves Paris for a three-day conference in London. As Scotland Yard's investigation begins, Adamsberg and his colleagues return home and are confronted with a massacre in a suburban home.

"One of today's few truly original writers of crime fiction: disturbing, unruly, droll and poetic" -- Marcel Berlins * The Times *
"Wonderfully intricate and Gothic" * Independent *
"This is the seventh outing for Jean-Baptiste Adamsberg, Fred Vargas's thoughtful, laid-back police chief, and the series shows no signs of flagging; An Uncertain Place is full of wit and invention, with a plot that satisfies both intellect and emotion." -- Annabella Bankhouse * Times Literary Supplement *
"With its idiosyncratic detective and taut plot, this is crime fiction writing at its most intriguing." * Marie Claire *
"As ever, Vargas's characters inhabit a world where reason and myth collide, and the result is a thrilling read." -- Joan Smith * Sunday Times *

Fred Vargas was born in Paris in 1957. A historian and archaeologist by profession, she is now a bestselling novelist. Her books have sold over 10 million copies worldwide and have been translated into 45 languages.
