Features: Neptune, the god of the sea, furiously raises his trident, and more innocent people die tragically. Who will be the next target of the trident? The answer is hidden in the ancient Chinese mahjong game. "The Mystery of the Trident" - at first glance, the title of this book seems like a fantasy novel, but it is actually a thriller by the famous French female writer, Fleur de Valga. In fact, Neptune is Poseidon, the god of the sea in Greek mythology, who always wields a trident to punish evil. In the story of "The Mystery of the Trident," the trident becomes a terrifying criminal tool. In "The Mystery of the Trident," Adamsberg often acts alone, and his motivation mainly comes from his memories of his youth. The internal conflicts of the protagonist also constitute an important part of the novel. But different from the "lone wolf hero" common in American novels, Adamsberg is surrounded by a group of lovable police officers. Without their united efforts, the protagonist would have already been imprisoned across the ocean. While the author meticulously portrays the inner world of the protagonist, he also creates a group portrait of French police officers (even including the Royal Canadian Mounted Police). In particular, the image of the bulky female police officer, Letangul, is truly amusing and has a touch of dark humor.
