Ville-Marie is a small town on the shores of Lake Témiscamingue. One of its denizens is Daniel Verrier, a man everyone knows because he's just lost his two young children in a drowning accident. Eaten away by remorse - he is partly responsible for their death - abandoned by his wife and battling severe psychological problems, not the least of which is partial amnesia, Verrier slowly sinks into madness. But is it really madness, or is it something else ? Why does Éric La Poche Massicotte, the village idiot, hound him with a cryptic message : Daniel, the lake is waiting ? And what is the link between Daniel's woes and the mass grave discovered in the cellar of the Bowman manor, where bizarre Amerindian rituals seem to have been practised ? Answers may be buried in Daniel Verrier's buried memories... or in the deepest depths of Lake Témiscamingue ! |
