Synopsis
Every year in Tarascon, as they have done for centuries, the Knights of the Tarasque worship the effigy of a mythical beast. But the boundaries between myth and reality are blurred when a mutilated body is found at the foot of the effigy, apparently torn apart by gigantic teeth and claws. And at the same time an eerie voice is heard echoing across the nature reserve for migrating birds, singing in what sounds like the ancient Provencal language. Michel de Palma, from the Marseille murder squad - known as the Baron - is given the case. The mystery he unravels stretches back to the time of the German occupation and beyond. But one dark secret eludes him. Can the legends really be true? Can it really be that a terrifying monster stalks the bleak marshes of the Camargue?

Review
Original twists within an exotic local habitation - Times Literary Supplement (Times Literary Supplement)
From the Back Cover
`He had walked to the ends of the earth. Then the first spoonbill appeared, immaculate, stretching its long neck through the reeds, at the edge of the marsh. A second one came to rest on a half-submerged tree trunk, in the middle of the dark waters. The land, cracked in places and spongy in others, led away towards the setting sun, the flat horizon and the sea, which was being shaken up by the mistral. The spoonbills had then flown back into their mysterious habitat and night fell on the tip of the Camargue.'
