A sophisticated and dark thriller from one of France's most popular writers. The books in the Marten Servas series have been translated into more than 20 languages, and Netflix recently made a series based on it.

There is a darkness that no sun can dispel ...

“What a crap! Fucking deer!”

Majestic antlers in the headlights. Almost human eyes. A terrible collision.

But something else is much worse - the eyes are really not deer's. The car didn't hit the animal. And a person. With horns…

He was driven through the forest like game. For him, they built a terrible mask from a real deer head. A mask that cannot be removed. They put a brand on him: they burned the word “justice” on his chest. Whose twisted fantasy gave birth to this incredible hybrid of execution and entertainment? And what kind of justice does the one who did this have in mind?

Toulouse investigator Marcel Servas should find out. And he will have to put his life and the lives of his loved ones on the line…
