    Una catártica novela negra protagonizada por el ex policía Kehlwiler, de la maestra Fred Vargas. ¿Por qué Louis Kehlwiler, alias el Alemán, Marc, Lucien y Mathias -atrincherados en su caserón cochambroso de la calle Chasle de París- pierden el tiempo con un acordeonista tonto con cara de imbécil y no muy simpático, cuya culpabilidad es indudable? ¿Por qué se empeñan en salvar a este Clçement Vauquer, un sujeto buscado por la policía de Nevers y de París por lo espantosos asesinatos de al menos dos chicas? Reseñas: «Las historias de la francesa Fred Vargas son adictivas.» Rosa Mora, Babelia «Fred Vargas ha renovado el género policíaco con fantasía y humor. Sin hogar ni lugar es indudablemente una gran novela negra.» Le Monde
