Johan, Lupo, Elen, Matthew, and Nanak are classmates at the Jung Institute, a prestigious Swiss boarding school. When the decapitated body of the eccentric chemist Ulrich Von Maezelen is found in the forest near the town where they live, the inhabitants are convinced that he was killed by the ghost of the Headless Horseman, who haunts the Cursed Forest on the back of his giant horse. But the five friends do not believe in legends and decide to investigate, finding themselves fighting forces far greater than themselves…
A gallery of unusual characters, a brutal murder, a forest populated by disturbing legends buried in the mountains of Switzerland: the first case of the nightmare investigators, in which an evocative setting is combined with a touch of horror, will win the hearts of many young readers.
