During the heat wave of the summer of 1961, a police officer from the big city was dispatched to P., a small remote village in which a macabre discovery had just been made: Joël, sixteen years old, had been found cut into pieces in one of the jam factory vats. The city inspector is greeted by the rural warden, who is more like a Guignol policeman than an efficient deputy and finds himself in a community where the inhabitants seem surprisingly unaffected by the tragedy. To complicate the matter, a storm prevents any telephone connection, the autopsy was performed by the improvised forensic veterinarian, and the victim is already buried. Unusual and surprising, this exhilarating literary investigation by Romain Puértolas defies all codes. An improbable and tasty duo. Bernard Lehut, RTL.
