Book Description

Saint-Martin-de-Comminges is a remote village nestled in the French Pyrenees, where winters are harsh, and nothing ever happens.

Until one morning, when a group of workers discovered the headless, flayed body of a horse hanging suspended from the edge of a frozen cliff.

That same day, just a few miles away, psychiatrist Diane Berg starts her first job at an asylum for the criminally insane. She is baffled by the director's unorthodox methods and alarmed to discover that drugs are disappearing from within its fortified walls.
