Synopsis

ABOUT THE BOOK “The poet is dead!” roar the creatures inside the cavern with starvation for some sun. “Who killed the poet!?” It is the puzzling theme of this book. Yet, each time a new suspect emerges from the woods as the detectives interrogate each ghost and inspect each clue left at the crime scene. Within each passage, Ricot takes her ominous brush and vividly paints each visitor grieving at the interment. We bear testimony as the poet gradually deteriorates upon his death bed and he descends into his tomb, which brings every spectator to tears. Here the poet becomes a witness of his own funeral. He is a revenant traveling from another world. The only mortals that seem to embrace him with a peculiar affection are the village clairvoyants. Ricot compels us to engage in the ultimate quest to find the culprits responsible for the poet’s demise.
