Bernard Minier

A French cop and a young psychiatrist must untangle a perplexing murder in this “tense and disturbing” mystery debut—now a series on Netflix (Booklist, starred review).

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 discover 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.

Commandant Martin Servaz, a charismatic city cop from nearby Toulouse, can’t believe he’s been called to such a backwater town over the death of an animal. But then DNA from one of the asylum’s most notorious inmates is found on the horse carcass . . . and a few days later the first human victim is found.

The Frozen Dead: A Novel

What if the people closest to us are not what they seem? What happens when someone takes control of your life and your relationships? And what is hiding in the darkness? In Bernard Minier's Don't Turn Out the Lights, you won’t see who’s coming after you.

“You did nothing.”

Christine Steinmeyer thought the anonymous suicide note she found in her mailbox on Christmas Eve wasn’t meant for her. But the man calling in to her radio show seems convinced otherwise.

“You let her die. . . .”

That’s only the beginning. Bit by bit, her life is turned upside down. But who among her friends and family hates her enough to want to destroy her? And why? It’s as if someone has taken over her life, and everything holding it together starts to crumble. Soon all that is left is an unimaginable nightmare.

Martin Servaz is on leave in a clinic for depressed cops, haunted by his childhood sweetheart Marianne’s kidnapping by his nemesis, the psychopath Julian Hirtmann. One day, he receives a key card to a hotel room in the mail—the room where an artist committed suicide a year earlier. Someone wants him to get back to work, which he’s more than ready to do, despite his mandatory sick leave. Servaz soon uncovers evidence of a truly terrifying crime. Could someone really be cruelly, consciously hounding women to death?

Don't Turn Out the Lights: A Novel

A psychological thriller with a “Russian nesting doll of a plot [that] is perfectly executed and delivers two genuine gut punches at the end” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

From Bernard Minier, the #1 international bestselling author of The Frozen Dead, a masterfully constructed thriller that pushes the limits of the genre.

They find the boy by the swimming pool, dolls floating on its surface.

Inside the house, his teacher lies dead.

But he claims to remember nothing . . . 

June 2010. In the middle of a World Cup match, Martin Servaz receives a call from a long-lost lover. A few miles away in the town of Marsac, Classics professor Claire Diemar has been brutally murdered.

As if that weren’t disturbing enough, Servaz receives a cryptic e-mail indicating that Julian Hirtmann, the most twisted of all serial killers, is back . . . and hitting a little too close to home. With death and chaos surrounding the small university town in Southern France where he was once a student and where his daughter is now enrolled, Servaz must act quickly.

With the help of detectives Irene Ziegler and Esperandieu, Servaz will have to uncover a world of betrayal and depravity to connect the dots between these gruesome murders that keep re-opening wounds from his past.

“[An] absorbing thriller that will keep readers guessing until the final shocking pages. Set in southern France, this satisfying read will entice fans of dark, gritty Scandinavian thrillers who will find Martin Servaz reminiscent of Jo Nesbø’s Harry Hole.” —Library Journal, starred review

“[A] clever atmospheric thriller. A gripping read.” —The Times, UK
