With her nods to fantasy, mysticism and medieval fiction, her unusual settings and titles like "Seeking Whom He May Devour," the wonderful French writer (real name: Frederique Audoin-Rouzeau) has established a subgenre all her own." --<i>Chicago Tribune</i> on <i>A Climate of Fear</i><br><br>"Insanely imaginative procedurals. . . . One reads to be amazed by the fantastic twists in the bizarre plot about a long-dead serial killer who seems to be pursuing his quarry from the grave. One reads as well to be delighted by the literary grace notes." --<i>New York Times</i> on <i>Wash this Blood Clean from My Hand</i><br><br>"Vargas's stunning conclusion to her Three Evangelists trilogy rewards the careful reader. . . .
