En kvinne blir funnet myrdet i sitt badekar. Alt er gjort for at det skal se ut som et selvmord. Et underlig symbol som blir funnet på åstedet, gjør at det lokale politiet kontakter førstebetjent Adamsberg. Når det samme symbolet dukker opp etter et nytt drap, begynner det å likne et mønster: begge ofrene var med under en tragisk hendelse på Island ti år tidligere. En gruppe franske turister ble sittende fast i en ugjennomtrengelig tåke på en liten øde øy. To av dem kom aldri tilbake. Men hva er det som knytter disse dødsfallene til en klubb der man dyrker den franske revolusjonen, ikledd tidens gevanter?

Førstebetjent Adamsberg og folkene hans blir konfrontert med et drap i en liten normannisk landsby. I den samme landsbyen lever minnet om fyrsten Hellequin og hans såkalte rasende horde, som i følge historien en gang herjet landsbyen og drepte flere forbrytere som ikke var blitt straffet av myndighetene. Når noen hevder at Den rasende horden igjen er på ferde, sprer redselen seg. Dette er den syvende boka om Adamsberg.

Dette er den første boka om fullmektig Adamsberg.

Both the dead man's son and gardener have motives for murder, but soon another candidate for the killing emerges.

In spite of all this his colleagues are forced to admit that he is a born cop. When strange blue chalk circles start appearing overnight on the pavements of Paris, only Adamsberg takes them - and the increasingly bizarre objects found within them - seriously.

On the outskirts of Paris, two men have been found with their throats cut. It is assumed that this is a drug-related incident of the kind so often uncovered in that area of town.
