Winner of the inaugural 2006 International CWA Dagger
Fred Vargas was born in Paris in 1957. A historian and archaeologist by profession, she is now a bestselling novelist. Her books have sold over 10 million copies worldwide and have been translated into 45 languages.
The Three Evangelists is a strange mix of the sinister, the bizarre
and the surreal; her characters seldom behave like ordinary people,
and her mysteries do not follow the usual rules of crime fiction.
Yet these curiously assembled elements coalesce into a gripping,
unsettling whole that stays in the mind far longer than most novels
of the genre. It tantalises from page one
*The Times*
A Vargas novel is as good as a trip to Paris. The style has the
same hyper-real quality as all her writing - the real world, but
filtered through a strange prism - but it's the plotting that
really hits the spot: ingenious and eccentric
*Daily Express*
A truly original talent, creating situations and characters like
nothing else in contemporary crime fiction... This novel is a
delight, written in a wonderfully wry tone of voice, and its plot
twists will defy the most alert reader
*Sunday Times*
One of France's most original crime writers... her characters are
eccentric but appealing and the mystery is enjoyably hard to
solve
*Sunday Telegraph*
Original...plenty to enjoy
*Times Literary Supplement*
