Scandalized by the village idiot, the mayor of Chester and his deputy plot his death. One spring morning they abduct him and throw him into a well. But he does not die: after three days he starts shouting from the bottom of the pit. The mayor then does everything he can to pin the blame on someone else, above all Paul Barabé, a new farmhand whose arrival coincides with the idiot's disappearance. A novel with the feel of a crime story that is above all about guilt and the art of accusation.
