Fred Vargas
France
Frédérique Vargas is an archaeologist and historian whose imaginative characters put most of America’s top-rated crime writers to shame. One of her Commissaire Adamsberg series revolves around a modern-day town crier in Paris; another follows a trail of mutilated sheep, and a third features a detective who talks in verse and – while on witness protection duty, and from the safety of a broom cupboard – writes down the works of Racine in large letters so his grandmother can read them. Vargas’s novels have deservedly won many awards
弗雷德·瓦加斯
法国
瓦加斯是一个考古学家和历史学家，她那极富想象力的人物创造可以使大部分美国顶级犯罪小说作家自惭形秽。Commissaire Adamsberg系列中的一本是围绕着一个巴黎的现代城市公告员展开的；另一本则从一只受残伤的绵羊留下的血迹找到了线索；第三本刻画了一位言辞如诗的侦探，他在保护证人以及一架金雀花橱柜的安全，在他写给老祖母的大号字的信中一切秘密渐渐揭开。瓦加斯的小说已经名至实归地获得了许多奖项。
