The art of speculative fiction lies in the ability to create a plausible future that tells us a great deal about our present.

Un hêtre peut-il pousser en une seule nuit dans un jardin, rue Chasle à Paris, sans que personne l'ait planté ? Oui. Chez la cantatrice Sophia Siméonidis ; et elle n'en dort plus. Puis elle disparaît sans que cela préoccupe son époux. Après une série de meurtres sinistres, ses trois voisins "dans la merde", aidés par l'ex-flic pourri Vandoosler, découvriront les racines du hêtre, vieilles de quinze ans, grasses de haine et de jalousie.

"Adamsberg attrapa son téléphone, écarta une pile de dossiers et posa les pieds sur sa table, s'inclinant dans son fauteuil. Il avait à peine fermé l'œil cette nuit, une de ses sœurs ayant contracté une pneumonie, dieu sait comment. - La femme du 33 bis ? demanda-t-il. Veines ouvertes dans la baignoire ? Pourquoi tu m'emmerdes avec ça à 9 heures du matin, Bourlin ? D'après les rapports internes, il s'agit d'un suicide avéré. Tu as des doutes ?"

Le commissaire Adamsberg devrait se méfier... On le sait, la Normandie et le Cotentin sont des lieux qu'on dit de longue date hantés par sorciers, fantômes et morts-vivants. Aussi, quand on lui affirme que les disparitions sur lesquelles il enquête sont la vengeance séculaire de "l'Armée furieuse", la "mesnie Hellequin" - en français moderne "la maisonnée", ou fratrie du même nom - mieux vaudrait qu'il rengaine son incrédulité.

La découverte d'une jeune fille assassinée de trois coups de couteau ramène violemment Adamsberg trente ans en arrière, et au souvenir de Raphaël, son jeune frère disparu, naguère soupçonné du meurtre de son amie. En effet, ce cadavre, puis d'autres, présentent les mêmes blessures en marque de trident.

Quel rapport entre deux morts égorgés porte de la Chapelle, un cerf éventré en Normandie, un vol de reliques, une infirmière évadée de prison et le fantôme d'une nonne ? Pour sa dixième enquête, le commissaire Adamsberg doit pister, au travers de ce ténébreux inventaire, un tueur en quête d'immortalité. Or Adamsberg ne va pas fort : à la brigade, un nouvel arrivé aux cheveux bicolores et ne parlant qu'en vers, ne semble pas l'apprécier.

Embusqué sur le banc 102, celui de la Contrescarpe, Kehlweiler, "l'Allemand", avise une drôle de "bricole" blanchâtre égarée sur une grille d'arbre. Ce petit bout d'os humain - car il s'agit de cela - l'obsède jusqu'à ce qu'il abandonne ses filatures parisiennes pour rallier Port-Nicolas, un village perdu au bout de la Bretagne. Et l'attente commence dans la salle enfumée du vieux Café de la Halle. Il écoute, il surveille, de bière en bière, de visage en visage...

It was a cool, quiet evening at Calumet Farm, where the most valuable racehorses—including the prolific stallion Alydar—had settled into their stalls for the evening. Alton Stone, filling in for the regular night watchman, completed his rounds at the barn. Although nothing seemed out of the ordinary, an inexplicable hunch led Stone to check on Alydar.
