Le mardi, il y eut quatre brebis égorgées à Ventebrune, dans les Alpes. Et le jeudi, neuf à Pierrefort. Un loup solitaire ? Roué, cruel, avec son cul bas sur ses pattes grises ? La Bête du Mercantour. Mais au village de Saint-Victor-du-Mont, tous n'y croient pas, à la Bête. Ce n'est pas une Bête. C'est un homme. Un loup-garou. À Paris, devant son écran, le commissaire Adamsberg guette les nouvelles du Mercantour.
