Summary
Winner of the inaugural 2006 International CWA Dagger Award.
The opera singer Sophia Simeonidis wakes up one morning to discover that a tree has appeared overnight in the garden of her Paris house.

Critics Review
The Three Evangelists is a strange mix of the sinister, the bizarre and the surreal; her characters seldom behave like ordinary people, and her mysteries do not follow the usual rules of crime fiction. Yet these curiously assembled elements coalesce into a gripping, unsettling whole that stays in the mind far longer than most novels of the genre. It tantalises from page one – Marcel Berlins * The Times *A Vargas novel is as good as a trip to Paris. The style has the same hyper-real quality as all her writing - the real world, but filtered through a strange prism - but it’s the plotting that really hits the spot: ingenious and eccentric – Barry Forshaw * Daily Express *A truly original talent, creating situations and characters like nothing else in contemporary crime fiction… This novel is a delight, written in a wonderfully wry tone of voice, and its plot twists will defy the most alert reader – Joan Taylor * Sunday Times *One of France’s most original crime writers… her characters are eccentric but appealing and the mystery is enjoyably hard to solve * Sunday Telegraph *Original…plenty to enjoy * Times Literary Supplement *
