An Interpol wildlife investigator is awakened by a midnight phone call: a one-horned animal has escaped from smugglers on the docks of Antwerp. The next day, an elderly gardener is murdered by a horn whose DNA profile baffles the forensic team. Meanwhile, Martin Olivier is summoned by an eccentric uncle to a remote family farm - which, he learns, is the original Arcadia, known only to a secret society of guardians, where unicorns and other animals have been sheltered from extinction since the Ice Age. 288 pp.
