Jean-Christophe Granget is a recognized master of the European detective, whose high-profile literary fame began with the thriller Crimson Rivers (1998), which was soon brilliantly filmed. The main character, brilliantly played by Jean Reno, is the laconic policeman Pierre Nyeman, who has a corrosive analytical mind, but a quarrelsome character, immediately fell in love with the audience. And now, twenty years later, Grange decided to resurrect the legendary commissioner in the novel The Last Hunt and the new thriller Dust Day. Under the rubble of a fresco that collapsed from the vault of an old chapel in Alsace, the body of a man was found. The chapel has long belonged to a religious community whose representatives call themselves Messengers of the Lord. In fact, this is a closed sect, living by its own laws, going back into the depths of time. They shy away from modern gadgets and other achievements of civilization, dress like in the eighteenth century, pray, grow grapes and make wine that is famous throughout Europe. The deceased was one of the leaders of the community. However, the police have doubts that his death is the result of an accident. Pierre Nyeman and his young assistant Ivana Bogdanovich are included in the investigation. And while Nyeman, with the help of local gendarmes, is looking for evidence, Ivana infiltrates the ranks of day laborers in order to look inside the strange community during the grape harvest. Meanwhile, the situation is heating up, there are new victims. But the search for the killer will not budge until the investigators answer the questions: where did the piece of coal come from in the mouth of the deceased and what do the hidden frescoes found under the murals of the vault of the gloomy chapel mean? For the first time in Russian.
