coeur du pays dogon pour élucider une série de morts bizarres, vraisemblablement des meurtres. Affaire d'autant plus délicate que les Dogons sont très attachés à leurs traditions et vivent pratiquement en marge des autorités officielles du Mali.

Il donne ainsi au lecteur, en le divertissant, une belle leçon d'humanité. -- 4e de couvJunie B., first grader: boss of lunch (Junie B. Jones #19)
