Guardian Bookshop Notes:

The first novel set in Paris featuring Jean-Baptiste Adamsberg, a policeman like no other. He doesn't search for clues, ignores obvious suspects and arrests people with cast-iron alibis. In spite of all this, his colleagues are forced to admit that he is highly successful. Fred Vargas is an internationally bestselling and award-winning author; she is also an historian and archaeologist. Trade paperback.

Publisher's description:

When strange blue chalk circles start appearing overnight on the pavements of Paris, the press take up the story with amusement and psychiatrists trot out their theories. Jean-Baptiste Adamsberg, a policeman is alone in thinking that this is not a game and far from amusing.
