Syndrome E

Franck THILLIEZ

Penguin US

[Library Edition Audiobook CD in Vinyl case.] [Translated by Mark Polizzotti] The classic police procedural meets cutting-edge science in this huge international bestseller. With this taut US debut, Thilliez explores the origins of violence through cutting-edge and popular science in a breakneck thriller rich with shocking plot twists and profound questions about the nature of humanity. Already a runaway bestseller in France, Syndrome E tells the story of beleaguered detective Lucie Hennebelle, whose old friend has developed a case of spontaneous blindness after watching an extremely rare -- and violent -- film from the 1950s. Embedded in the film are subliminal images so unspeakably heinous that Lucie realizes she must get to the bottom of it -- especially when nearly everyone who comes into contact with the film starts turning up dead. Enlisting the help of Inspector Franck Sharko -- a brooding, broken analyst for the Paris police who is exploring the film's connection to five murdered men left in the woods -- Lucie begins to strip away the layers of what is perhaps the most disturbing and powerful film ever made. Soon Sharko and Lucie find themselves mired in a darkness that spreads across politics, religion, science, and art while stretching from France to Canada, Egypt to Rwanda, and beyond. And just who is responsible for this darkness will blow listeners' minds, as Syndrome E forces them to consider: What if the earliest and most brilliant advances and discoveries of neuroscience were not used for good but for evil?

Literature & Fiction

Genre Fiction

[Translated by Mark Polizzotti] [Read by Gildart Jackson] The shocking sequel to the runaway international bestseller Syndrome E Syndrome E's Lucie Henebelle and Inspector Sharko have reunited to take on the case of the brutal murder of Eva Louts, a promising graduate student who was killed while working at a primate research center outside Paris. But what at first appears to be a vicious animal attack soon proves to be something more sinister. What was Eva secretly researching? Was she tracking three fanatical scientists who control a thirty-thousand-year-old virus with plans to unleash it on the world? With his unmatched ability to inject cutting-edge science into his novels, Franck Thilliez draws on genetics, paleontology, and the dark side of human nature to create this smart, adrenaline-fueled thriller. Bred to Kill moves from the rain-slick streets of Paris to the heart of the Alps to the remote Amazon jungle, as Lucie and Sharko work to solve the murder - before whoever killed Eva comes for them.  

Bred to Kill

Sharko comparait toujours les premiers jours d'une enquête à une partie de chasse.Ils étaient la meute de chiens stimulés par les cors, qui s'élancent à la poursuite du gibier.À la différence près que, cette fois, le gibier, c'était eux. "Eux, c'est Lucie Henebelle et Franck Sharko, flics aux 36 quai des Orfèvres, unis à la ville comme à la scène, parents de deux petits garçons. Lucie n'a pas eu le choix : en dehors de toute procédure légale, dans une cave perdue en banlieue sud de Paris, elle a tué un homme. Que Franck ignore pourquoi elle se trouvait là à ce moment précis importe peu : pour protéger Lucie, il a maquillé la scène de crime. Une scène désormais digne d'être confiée au 36, car l'homme abattu n'avait semble-t-il rien d'un citoyen ordinaire et il a fallu lui inventer une mort à sa mesure. Lucie, Franck et leur équipe vont donc récupérer l'enquête et s'enfoncer dans les brumes de plus en plus épaisses de la noirceur humaine. Cette enquête autour du meurtre qu'à deux ils ont commis pourrait bien sonner le glas de leur intégrité, de leur équilibre, et souffler comme un château de cartes le fragile édifice qu'ils s'étaient efforcés de bâtir.
